Objective: To determine the epidemiological factors associated with the survival of very low- and extremely low birth weight babies. Methods: Consecutive low birth weight babies aged <168h in a Nigerian tertiary hospital were studied between January and December 2008 using bivariate and multivariate methods. Results: Out of 160 babies weighing <2.5kg admitted, 78 (48.8%) weighed 0.65-1.49kg. Survival rates were 6.7% for <1kg, 57.4% for 1-1.49kg and 84.9% for 1.5-2.49kg. Overall, survival rate was 84.9% for babies weighing ≥1.5kg (84.9%) compared to 46.4% among babies weighing <1.5kg (P<0.0001). Survival among babies who weighed <1.5kg was associated with EGA≥32weeks and caesarean delivery while death was associated with the occurrence of asphyxia, apnea and respiratory distress. EGA≥32weeks (OR=1.7), absence of respiratory distress (OR=2.1) and absence of apnea (OR=5.3) were independent determinants of survival. Conclusion: Survival rate of babies weighing <1.5kg remains high in this population. The poor state of diagnostic and therapeutic facilities in the centre may be contributory.
