Background: Certain neonatal measurements are potential tools for evaluating the status of the newborn. The neonatal anthropometrics measurements and other assessment indices are therefore religiously performedby the attending midwife and entered into the labour room register. Method: This was a retrospective analysis of the infants delivered between January 2004 and December 2005 in the Jos University Teaching Hospital, Nigeria. Results: There were 4,266 deliveries during the study period. The mean age and parity of the mothers were 28.7 ± 5.8 and 3.0 ± 1.9 respectively. The mean gestational age of the infants at birth was 38.3 ± 2.8 weeks and the mean Apgar scores for the first and fifth minutes were 7.4 ± 1.7 and 8.5 ± 1.5 respectively. ...
