National, regional, and global levels and trends in neonatal mortality between 1990 and 2017, with scenario-based projections to 2030: a systematic analysis

Global neonatal mortality rate (NMR) fell 51% from 36.6 to 18.0 deaths per 1000 livebirths between 1990 and 2017, with the number of neonatal deaths halving to 2.5 million, yet over 60 countries must speed up progress to meet the SDG target of 12 deaths per 1000 livebirths by 2030.
