A retrospective study on diarrheal manifestation in newborn babies was conducted at the ward of Neonatology, Dr. Pirngadi Hospital Medan from January to December 1988. There were all 3367 babies hospitalized during the study period. One hundred and thirty five (4.0%) had diarrhea, including 106 (78.5%) babies with birth weights of greater than or equal to 2500 gram. Of 2478 babies with spontaneous delivery, 34 (1.4%) babies had diarrhea, while of 889 babies with obstetrical intervention delivery 101 (11.4%) babies had diarrhea. The difference was statistically significant (p less than 0.001). Of 135 babies with diarrhea, there were 82 (60.7%) with moderate and 31 (23.0%) with severe dehydration. The mortality rate was 47.5% in patients with accompanying diseases and 0.0% in them without. The mortality rate in babies with birth weights less than 2500 gr was 37.9% and 16.9% in babies with birthweights greater than or equal to 2500 gram (p less than 0.001). The mortality rate increased with the increase of severity of dehydration (p less than 0.03).
