A study of pediatric deaths at the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, Calabar, Nigeria, during a 4-year period (January 1984- December 1987) showed a overall mortality of 80/1000 pediatric admissions. A majority (47%) of the deaths were among newborns, with a decline of 7% seen in children ages 61 months-14 years. Major causes of death were: tetanus, low birthweight, and birth asphyxia in the newborn; malnutrition, pneumonia, and measles in the preschool age child; and anemia in older children. Neonatal tetanus and malnutrition were leading causes in the overall mortality rate.
