Abstract

Introduction: The infant mortality rate is one of the main developmental indexes of a community, and the number of low birth weight, and prematurity is a measure of the mortality rate in the neonatal period.[1] Each year, approximately 20 million infants are born with low birth weight. The rate of prematurity in the least developed countries is high. These countries account for a high percentage of infant mortality. Therefore, taking care of these babies has a burden on health and social systems of the community.[2]
