ntroduction: Early neonates are more prone towards infections and deaths. A new concept called Early Neonatal Health Ratio (ENHR), ENHR scale and ENHR analysis are discussed with an application to inborn early neonates of Cheluvamba Hospital, Mysore. Material and Method: A retrospective study was planed. A total of 24,578 live births were monitored for their morbidity status from September, 2011 to June, 2013 in the hospital and the data were taken with the Institutional ethics committee permission. Monthly wise number of morbidity causes was detected. Sample 1 is the September 2011 , Sample 2 being October 2011 and so on. A new approach to analyze and detect the community based health status will be discussed in this paper. The combination of ENHR graph, Check sheet and Pareto chart is called ENHR analysis. Results and conclusion: The mean ENHR in this study is 0.1131. 60% of samples lie in better health region. All samples have little variability around the mean ENHR indicating the early neonatal community in the hospital has lesser issues. HIE/Moderate-severe birth Asphyxia (33%) is the major contributor to the morbidity profile. A formula for ENHR is derived and given along with the ENHR analysis. The range for ENHR is detected and is always greater than 0. The value 0 indicates healthy community, (0,1) indicates moderate health and greater than 1 indicates diseased community.
