This research analyses the patterns associated with NNJ at Lancet Clinical Laboratories Zimbabwe from January 2024 to June 2024. The study addresses the significant public health concern posed by NNJ, which is linked to various complications, including severe neurological impairments if left untreated. The purpose was to evaluate the patterns and distribution of NNJ by age and sex. The study population included 369 neonates. The study found a high prevalence of NNJ at 69.9%, with the majority of cases occurring in public Hospitals (67.4%) compared to private hospitals (32.6%). The 0-5 days age group had the highest proportion of NNJ cases (25.5%), with a gradual decline in prevalence as age increased. Male neonates were more affected (56.5%) than female neonates (43.5%).
