A total of 2432 live births and 46 stillbirths were studied in some of the tea gardens of Dibrugarh district of upper Assam. The neonatal mortality rate was 46.5 per 1000 live births per year. Immaturity (21.2%), fever/sepsis (13.3%), breathing disorder (12.4%), neonatal tetanus (11.5%) and neonatal diarrhoea (8.8%) accounted for most of the neonatal deaths. There were 42.9% low birth weight infants and this was associated with 92.8% of total neonatal deaths and 34.3% of preterm babies were associated with 90.7% of neonatal deaths. The case fatality rate among low birth weight and preterm babies was 9% and 11% respectively. High risk of neonatal deaths had been found among the neonates in case of no maternal immunisation, delivery attended by untrained person and newborn care at home.
对上阿萨姆邦迪布鲁格尔区部分茶园的2432例活产和46例死产进行了研究。新生儿死亡率为每年每1000例活产46.5例。不成熟（21.2%）、发热/败血症（13.3%）、呼吸障碍（12.4%）、新生儿破伤风（11.5%）和新生儿腹泻（8.8%）占新生儿死亡的大部分。低体重儿占42.9%，这与92.8%的新生儿死亡有关，34.3%的早产儿与90.7%的新生儿死亡有关。低体重儿和早产儿的病死率分别为9%和11%。在未进行产妇免疫、由未经培训的人员接生以及在家中进行新生儿护理的情况下，新生儿死亡风险较高。
