Determinants of Perinatal Mortality in Public Hospitals of Iluu Abbaa Boor Oromia Region, South West Ethiopia, 2019: Unmatched Case–Control Study

Abstract: Background: Globally, about 2.5 million children die in the first month after birth; this amounts to 7000 neonatal deaths every day. Almost half of neonatal deaths occur on the first postnatal day, and the vast majority of the rest occurs within the first postnatal week. In Ethiopia, efforts to reduce perinatal mortality did not meet the United Nations Millennium Development Goal (MDG) in 2020. Objective: To identify determinants of perinatal death in public hospitals of Iluu Abbaa Boor Zone, Oromia regional s… Show more

“…There were three times higher odds of perinatal mortality among newborns whose mothers were from rural residences as compared to newborns whose mothers were from urban residences. This finding is supported by studies conducted in Nigeria (20) and Tigray, northern Ethiopia (11). The possible explanation for this might be that urban resident mothers had better wealth, education, sanitation services, and media access for health service utilization.…”

“…This may be due to the fact that a short birth interval increases the risk of obstetric complications that can affect the perinatal outcome. Moreover, long birth spacing enables the maternal body to replenish nutrient stores, accumulate energy, and even decrease economic stress, all of which can lower the risk compared to short birth spacing [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23].…”

“…This is because the demand for iron and folic acid increases during pregnancy following the physiological adjustment imposed by pregnancy 4 . If left untreated, it contributes to adverse birth outcomes, including intrauterine foetal growth retardation, preterm delivery, low birth weight, and subsequent maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality 5,6 . Reducing anaemia is an important component of achieving women's and children's health, and the second global nutrition target for 2025 calls for a 50% reduction of anaemia in women of reproductive age.…”

“… 4 If left untreated, it contributes to adverse birth outcomes, including intrauterine foetal growth retardation, preterm delivery, low birth weight, and subsequent maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. 5 , 6 Reducing anaemia is an important component of achieving women's and children's health, and the second global nutrition target for 2025 calls for a 50% reduction of anaemia in women of reproductive age. Thus, to achieve the Global Nutrition Target and prevent these poor health outcomes, the WHO recommends all pregnant women take a standard dose of 60 mg of elemental iron along with 400 μg of folic acid daily for 6 months during pregnancy in areas where there is a moderate prevalence of anaemia and to continue for 3 months after delivery in areas where the prevalence of anaemia is over 40%.…”
