Commonest causes of mortality were Birth asphyxia (37.5%), Pneumonia (12.5%) and Sepsis (25%). Almost 70.7 % MAS babies had birth weight between 2.5 – 3.5 Kg, 13.33% had > 3.5 Kg and 3.21 % </= 2.5 Kg. Antenatal risk factors among MAS babies were Fetal distress (42.3%), PIH (19.3%), Anemia (9.6%), Oligohydroamnios (9.6 %) and PROM (9.6%).
