The universe included all newborns admitted to service neonatology and the sample took into account newborns diagnosed with respiratory distress. Data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel 2015 and SPSS version 22, presenting them through graphs and tables; Chi square for analysis, percentages, 95% confidence interval, prevalence ratio and p value were used.

Results: preterm birth less than 37 weeks’ gestation (p 0.000), less than 2500 grams (p 0.001), cesarean (p 0.000) weight, APGAR: a statistically significant association between respiratory distress syndrome and variables found to less than 7 minutes (p 0.000) and the lower APGAR minute to 5 (p 0.000). Conclusions: There is a higher prevalence of respiratory distress with the following factors: premature birth less than 37 weeks’ gestation, less than 2500 grams, cesarean delivery, Apgar at minute 7 and lower Apgar less than five minutes
