At what age range is a neonatal death classified as "early NND"?

Neonatal death is classified into different categories based on the timing of the death after birth. "Early neonatal death" specifically refers to deaths that occur within the first week of life. The classification typically defines early neonatal death as occurring from birth up to 6 days after birth. Thus, the age range that encompasses this classification is from birth to just before the completion of the first week of life, which aligns with the definition cited in choice B. This categorization is crucial for public health monitoring and for understanding the underlying causes of mortality in the perinatal period. Understanding the distinctions between early and late neonatal deaths aids healthcare professionals in targeting interventions and improving health outcomes for newborns.
