The neonatal period involves a significant transition from intrauterine life, with near-complete organ maturation across nearly all systems. Infants under one month old are the age group with the highest risk of health problems, and various health issues can arise.
Meanwhile, 6,151 deaths, or 21%, occurred between 29 days and 11 months of age, and 2,927 deaths, or 10%, occurred between 12 and 59 months of age.
