if we consider that in our case-report 59.5 % of the infants dead from 0 to 28 days is made up by newborns with weight less than 1500 gms and 45.5 % of them have a birth weight less than 1000 gms , if we also consider the high incidence of severe asphyxia ( 33.8 % ) in the death causes , we understand how the vlbw decrease to the levels of the other regions would bring about a remarkable decrease of the neonatal death rate .
