Method of delivery; Cesarean section (44.7%) was the highest frequency, compared with percent ofcesarean section to total delivery(29.0%). 4. Distribution of birth weight; 1.0-2.0 Kg(48.9%) was the mostfrequent. 5. Distribution of gestational period; 32-36 weeks (29.8%) was the most frequent. 6. Complication; Pulmonary hemorrhage(31.9%) was the most frequent, in order, subarachnoid hemorrhage & pneumothorax were followed.7. Final diagnosis of hyaline membrane disease was based on histo-pathologic diagnosis.
