The newborn period is an unprotected period for the child’s health. A number of events covering twenty-eight days and before are brought to the emergency services for children. This study assessed the clinical and demographic characteristics of the newborns brought to the emergency service. Methods: The records of infants under 28 days brought to our child emergency service between January 2017 and December 2017 were reviewed backward. The patient’s age, gender, week of birth, birth weight, the place where the birth took place, the way of hospitalization, the complaints of arrival and the reasons for hospitalization were recorded. Identifying statistical methods are used. Results: In a year, the number of children who received emergency service was 62448, of which 624 (0.9%) were in the newborn period. 58.8% of newborns were male and 77.9% were born within the first week. The most common complaints were yellowness (%26.0), breathing failure (%25.2), prematurity (%16.3) and asphyxia (%10.3). 489 of them (78.4) were treated by deposit. The result: Applications to the child’s emergency service in the newborn period were in the first seven high rates and the reason for the application was identified as yellow. The fact that doctors in emergency services are aware of the problems of newborns and the diseases that may develop in the first week of life can make it easier for newborns to evaluate.
