Asphyxia Neonatorum with 47 babies, whereas LBW weighing less than 1,500
grams was asphyxia as light as 0 infants (2.3%) and with severe asphyxia counted
4 infants (1.7%) while BBLR weighing 1,500 - 2,400 grams with mild asphyxia
of 27 infants (24.7%) and with severe asphyxia of 16 infants (18.3%).
Based on statistical result by using chi-square test, the result of significant
