Core Tip Preterm neonates admitted to neonatal intensive care units in tribal districts face a substantial burden of morbidity and mortality. This 3-year retrospective cohort study demonstrates a clear inverse relationship between gestational age, birth weight, and survival. Culture-positive sepsis, delayed initiation of continuous positive airway pressure, and outborn status were independently associated with mortality. Strengthening early respiratory stabilization, improving antenatal care and infection control, and addressing socioeconomic barriers such as discharge against medical advice are essential to advancing neonatal survival and health equity in underserved tribal regions.
