“…Birth trauma ranges from minor problems that go away on their own to significant wounds that might result in infant morbidity and mortality over the long term [6][7][8][9][10][11]. It is a neonatal health issue that receives the least attention globally [12][13][14][15]. Worldwide, birth injuries have decreased significantly due to advancements in obstetrical care and prenatal diagnosis [16,17].…”

Birth trauma is described as organ or tissue damage caused by physical pressure during birth. Birth trauma ranges from minor problems that go away on their own to significant wounds that might result in infant morbidity and mortality over the long term. It is one of the critical issues that have received the least attention globally. In Ethiopia, evidence regarding the pooled prevalence of birth trauma among neonates is scarce. Therefore, this study estimated the pooled prevalence of birth trauma and associated factors in Ethiopia over the last decade. The Preferred Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA-2009) guidelines were followed. The PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar and Google databases were searched. Articles published in the English language in the last decade were included. Data were extracted by a pre-prepared Excel sheet, and analysis was conducted using STATA version 14. Subgroup analysis was also undertaken to evaluate how the prevalence of birth trauma differs across regions of Ethiopia. The pooled prevalence of birth trauma in Ethiopia was 10.57% (95% CI: 3.08, 18.07), with a heterogeneity index (I2) of 92.6% (p < 0.001). Presentation other than vertex AOR 11.94 (95% CI: 6.25–17.62), P = 0.001 and I2 = 53%, labor assisted by forceps AOR 6.25 (95% CI: 2.95–10.10), P = 0.002 with I2 = 51.8% and labor assisted with vacuum AOR 17.47 (95% CI: 4.25–39.46), P = 0.0001 with I2 = 92.9% were factors associated with the pooled prevalence of birth trauma in Ethiopia. The pooled prevalence of birth trauma in Ethiopia is considerable. Non-vertex presentation, use of instrumental delivery and prolonged labor were factors significantly associated with birth trauma. Strengthening neonatal improvement activities (thermal protection, hygienic umbilical cord and skin care, early and exclusive breastfeeding, assessment for signs of serious health problems or need for additional care and preventive treatment), is need.

ObjectiveThe institutional-based cross-sectional study was designed to assess the magnitude of birth trauma and its associated factors in South Wollo, northeast Ethiopia.SettingThis study was conducted in the public hospitals of South Wollo, northeast Ethiopia. South Wollo is one of the 12 zones in the Amhara regional state with a total population of >3 million. There are 13 hospitals in South Wollo, of these 4 hospitals were selected randomly.ParticipantsA total of 612 mother-newborn pairs were selected to conduct the study. However, data were collected from 594 mother-neonate pairs giving a response rate of 97%. The study participants were selected by applying a simple random sampling technique after proportional allocation of the total sample to each study hospital. Live neonates delivered during the study period were included, whereas stillborn, neonates born with major congenital malformation and neonates whose mothers died during the birth process were excluded.ResultA total of 594 mother-newborn pairs were involved with a response rate of 97%. Seventy-eight newborns 13.13% (95% CI: 10.30 to 16.00) had experienced birth trauma. Prolonged labour (AOR: 5.78, 95% CI: 3.00 to 11.15), birth weight >4 kg (AOR: 9.18, 95% CI: 3.92 to 21.50), vacuum delivery (AOR: 6.74, 95% CI: 2.01 to 22.56), forceps delivery (AOR: 7.36, 95% CI: 1.96 to 27.58) and shoulder dystocia (AOR: 9.83, 95% CI: 4.13 to 23.50) were risk factors of birth trauma.ConclusionThe prevalence of birth trauma was higher than the report from most of the African countries. Prolonged labour, instrumental deliveries, large birth weight and shoulder dystocia were the identified risk factors of birth trauma. The ministry of health and the local healthcare system should give attention to the maternal health services.
