The population is all neonatal born in the working area of North Buton District Health Office for the period of 2016-2018. Case samples were neonates who died before the age of 28 days while the control samples were neonates who lived to the age of 28 days with a sample size of 108, with a ratio of 1 case: 2 controls, the sample size was 36 and the control was 72 samples.
