Time Series Analysis Of Neonatal And Perinatal Mortality In Abia State (A Case Study Of Federal Medical Centre Umuahia, For The Period 2006-2012)
ABSTRACT
The aim of studying mortality is to enable inferences to be
drawn about the likelihood of death occurring within a specific population
during a specific period of time. When one talks about neo-natal and pen-natal
mortality, one talks about death of infants less than 28 days and still births
plus death of infacts under 7 days of age. The main objective of this study is
to find the trend and the differences in the level of Neo-natal and Pen-natal
mortality among births that occurred at Federal Medical Centre Umuahia, Abia
State. In this project research a review of related literature was carried out
and it was found that mostly malnutrition, maternal diet, during pregnancy, non
use of anti-natal care were reported as direct causes of Neo-natal and
Pen-natal mortality. Social economic factor such as income, maternal education,
health care accessibility and urbanization were reported as direct causes of
Neo-natal and Pen-natal mortality. In this study the trend and seasonal
component were estimated. The Box and Jenkins iterative method of time series
(ACF) and Partial Auto Correlation Function (PACF) were used to test whether
pen-natal and neo-natal mortality data fit into normal distribution and it was
found that the data were normally distributed.
