Determinants of neonatal mortality in Ethiopia: an analysis of the 2016 Ethiopia Demographic and Health Survey

Abstract: Background: The first 28 days of life, the neonatal period, are the most vulnerable time for a child’s survival. Neonatal mortality accounts for about 38% of under-five deaths in low and middle income countries. This study aimed to identify the determinants of neonatal mortality in Ethiopia. Methods: The study used data from the nationally representative 2016 Ethiopia Demographic and Health Survey (EDHS). Once the data were extracted; editing, coding and cleaning were done by using SAS 9.4.Sampling weigh… Show more

“…Children living in urban areas were less likely to die than those living in rural areas. The result is consistent with studies conducted by Basha and colleagues 49 51 . The reason might be that urban residences have better education and facilitated living conditions compared to rural residences.…”

“…Male neonates had a higher hazard of neonatal mortality. This is similar to study findings in Ethiopia 14,[17][18][19]25 Bangladesh 32 Iran, 22 and the African Great Lakes region. 16 This could be due to the fact that the neonatal period is the time at which natural differences between males and females were more pronounced.…”

“…15 25 However, not all of the most recent Ethiopian studies agree on the role of these factors on perinatal mortality; quite the opposite, all show that the number of previous deliveries and previous obstetric complications make the greatest contribution, and among the socioeconomic determinants, the residence in a rural area shows the greatest association with perinatal mortality. [30][31][32] These three factors are all known during pregnancy and may act as crucial indications for admission to the MWH. In addition to this, our study is monocentric; although a detailed description of the context may allow for comparisons between situations with a similar-or, by contrast, different-background, the extendibility of our findings remains limited, suggesting the need for multicentre researches.…”
