Amaç: Hastanemizde doğan düşük doğum ağırlıklı bebeklerdeki kısa dönem morbidite ve mortalite sıklığını ve bunları etkileyen faktörleri incelemek. Yöntemler: 18 aylık dönem içinde hastanemizde doğan düşük doğum ağırlıklı 195 bebek ve aynı dönem içinde normal doğum ağırlıklı doğan 150 bebek kontrol grubu olarak seçildi. Bulgular: Söz konusu süre içinde hastanemizde doğan bebeklerin %4,4\'ü (n=168) düşük doğum ağırlıklı, %0,7\'si (n=27) çok düşük doğum ağırlıklı idi. Bu bebeklerde kontrol grubuna kıyasla çoğul gebelik ve asfiktik doğum anlamlı oranda yüksekti (sırasıyla p=0,029, p=0,011). Çok düşük doğum ağırlıklı bebeklerde asfiktik doğum (OR=14,2, 95% CI (6,6-30,7, p

Objective: To investigate the frequency of short term morbidity and mortality and the factors affecting them for the infants born with low birth-weight at our hospital Methods: At our hospital, 195 infants born with low birth-weight within a period of 18 months were identified and 150 infants born with normal birth-weights were selected as the control group. Results: Within the mentioned period of time, 4.4% (n=168) of the infants born in our hospital had low birth-weight, 0.7% (n=27) had very low birth-weight (VLBW). Multiple pregnancies and asphyxiating birth rates were significantly high in these infants as compared to the control group. (p=0.029, p=0.011, respectively). For VLBW infants, the rates of asphyxiating birth (OR=14.2, 95% CI (6.6-30.7, p
