Selected Hospital/community association with hypothermia and mortality risk in the low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

Location	No. of Patients	Mortality Outcomes	Author, Year
Bissau, Guinea-Bissau	2926	- Adjusted for weight, temperatures <34.5 °C were associated with mortality 4.81 (95% CI: 2.90–8.00) times greater in the first seven days of life - Hypothermia-associated mortality risk was elevated through two months of life	Sodemann, 2008 [133]
Sagamu, Nigeria	150	Unadjusted fatality rate among hypothermic infants was 2.26 (95% CI: 1.14–4.48) greater than normothermic infants	Ogunlesi, 2008 [132]
Sarlahi, Nepal	23,240	- Adjusted mortality risk increased 80% for every 1 °C decrease in first observed axillary temperature decrease - Adjusted mortality risk was 6.11 (95% CI: 3.98–9.38) times higher among infants <35.0 °C. Preterm babies at higher risk of hypothermia-associated mortality	Mullany, 2010 [134]
Recife, Brazil	320	- Adjusted odds of death among babies with hypothermia had a odds ratio of 3.49 (95% CI: 3.18–3.8)	da Mota Silveira, 2003 [130]
Gadchiroli, India	763	- Case-fatality of hypothermia was 15.4%, and was significantly greater than those without hypothermia	Bang, 2005 [135]
Tehran, Iran	900	- Unadjusted fatality was 8.8% among hypothermic infants compared with 2.6% among normothermic	Zayeri, 2007 [136]
