The effects of temperature and birth weight on the transition rate of hypothermia in hospitalized neonates using Markov models

The effects of temperature and birth weight on the transition rate of hypothermia in hospitalized neonates using Markov models

Background: Hypothermia is an important determinant of survival in newborns, especially among low-birth-weight ones. Prolonged hypothermia leads to edema, generalized hemorrhage, jaundice and ultimately death. This study was undertaken to examine the factors affecting transition from hypothermic sta...
