Abstract Background: Ethiopia meets the target millennium development goal 4 on child survival three years ahead of time. However, there were high perinatal deaths in the country and the reduction was not impressive. Identifying determinants and implement evidence based interventions is crucial to reduce perinatal death. However, there were no clear evidences on determinants of perinatal mortality in Tercha General Hospital.Objective: To assess determinants of perinatal mortality in Tercha general hospital, Southern Ethiopia, January 1, 2014 and December 30, 2017.Method: An unmatched case control study using secondary data as a source of information was conducted in Tercha general hospital. Cases were stillbirths and early neonatal deaths. Controls were those newborns live till 7th days. Randomly selected 366 (183 cases and 183 controls) study subjects were constituted for this study. The data were collected from March 1-20/2018. Epi-Data version 3.1 and SPSS Version 23 were used for data entry and analysis, respectively. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the study population in relation to study variables. Logistic regressions were employed to identify determinants of perinatal death.Results: In multivariable logistic analysis, rural in residence of the mother [AOR=1.82; 95%CI:(1.04-3.19)], ANC booking [AOR=0.47; 95%CI:(0.27,0.83)], prolonged labour [AOR=2.75; 95%CI: (1.58-4.78)], low birth weight [AOR=1.78; 95%CI (1.06-2.97)], presence of obstetrics complication [AOR=2.15; 95%CI: (1.28-3.62)], using partograph [AOR=0.5; 95%CI: 0.25-0.9]. Using safe child birth checklist [AOR=0.52; 95%CI: 0.30-0.91], and coming with referral [(AOR=2.69; 95% CI: (1.51-4.8)] were significantly associated with perinatal mortality. Conclusion and Recommendation: Being rural in residence, coming with referral, low birth weight, prolonged labour and presence of obstetric complication were associated with elevated the risk of perinatal mortality, and antenatal care booking, using partograph and using safe childbirthchecklist were associated with reduced risk of perinatal mortality. We therefore, recommend strengthening maternal health and newborn care servicesby taking into account these factors to reduce perinatal death.

Abstract BACKGROUND: The Apgar score is a method to quickly summarize the health of newborn children. It establishes a simple and clear classification of newborns, which could be used to predict survival and to compare methods of resuscitation and perinatal experience across hospitals and obstetric practices. Low Apgar score is associated with various immediate and long-term adverse health outcomes of newborns. Hence; in order to decrease the risk/complications, identifying the determinant factors of low Apgar is crucial to act on the modifiable risk factors. This study is aimed to investigate the determinant factors of a low Apgar score in newborn children.METHOD: The study was conducted in Lemelem Karl general hospital; northern Ethiopia. An institutional-based unmatched, case-control study was implemented. Data were retrieved from medical charts of 662 newborns’ mothers who gave birth in the hospital from Sep 2014 to Sep 2017. Among these, 221 of them were cases (charts of mothers whose newborns’ fifth minute Apgar score was <7) and 441 of them were controls (charts of mothers whose newborns’ Apgar score was 7 and above). Data was collected using a pretested and structured checklist using systematic sampling and data was entered & analyzed using SPSS version 20. Binary and multivariable logistic regression was done to determine the association and statistical significance was declared at P-value of ≤0.05. RESULTS: This study revealed that low Apgar score was significantly associated with antepartum hemorrhage [Adjusted odss ratio (AOR) 3.509; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.526-8.067), P= 0.003], pregnancy-induced hypertensive disorders [AOR 2.69; 95% CI (1.351-5.357), P= 0.005], prolonged second stage of labor [AOR 2.63; 95% CI (1.399-4.944), P= 0.003], Cesarean delivery [AOR 2.005; 95%CI (1.223-3.287), P= 0.006],meconium-stained liquor [AOR 6.955; 95% CI (3.721-13.001), P<0.001], and low birth weight [AOR 4.38; 95% CI (2.216-8.657), P<0.001].CONCLUSION: Result from this study showed a remarkable linkage of low Apgar score with antepartum hemorrhage, pregnancy-induced hypertensive disorders, meconium-stained liquor, and low birth weight. Therefore, meticulous antenatal care and labour management service are recommended to prevent low Apgar score and the concomitant neonatal death.

Abstract Background: There is high incidence of neonatal death in Ethiopia. There are various factors that contribute to neonatal death. Low birth weight (LBW) contributes for about half of infant death. Identification of modifiable determinants of LBW for potential interventions has received little attention in southern parts of Ethiopia. The aim of this study was to identify determinants of LBW among mothers delivered at hospitals in Silte Zone, Southern Ethiopia. Methods: A hospital-based unmatched case-control study was conducted in all public hospitals of Silte Zone. In the study, the number of mothers, cases and controls from each hospital was recruited using probability proportion to population size. Baby born with weight less than 2500gm were taken as a case where as a preceding three baby with birth weight of more than or equal to 2500gm was taken as control during study time in consecutive manner. Data was collected using pretested structured questionnaire, and by anthropometric measurements. Data was entered in to Epi Info 3.5.4 and exported to SPSS Version 20 software. Descriptive analysis and binary logistic regression model were used to calculate Odds ratio with 95% confidence intervals to estimate the association between the dependent and independent variables. Variables with a p-value less than 0.05 were considered as statistically significant. Result: The mean ± SD of birth weight of was 2174.47gm ±266.2for cases and 3370.48gm ±446.48for controls. After using multivariate logistic regression analysis, mothers who did not receive iron folate during pregnancy [AOR=2.84(1.15,7.03)], mothers who had anemia (hemoglobin <11mg/dl) during pregnancy [AOR=1.03(1.12, 6.24)], mothers who did not take additional meal [AOR =3.25(1.64,6.44)], mothers who did not receive nutritional counseling during the current pregnancy [AOR =6.93(4.80,11.76)], maternal under nutrition [AOR= 3.62(2.64, 6.47)], hypertensive disorder related to pregnancy [AOR= 2.76(1.34,5.71)] and inadequate Minimum Dietary Diversity Assessment(MDD-W) [AOR=6.65(2.31, 10.16)] were found as an independent and significant predictors of low birth weight. Conclusions: Maternal under nutrition, mothers not receiving iron folate during pregnancy, mother who had anemia, lack of target nutritional counseling, mothers who did not receive additional food during pregnancy, hypertensive disorder related to pregnancy and inadequate MDD-W were significant determinants of LBW. The importance of nutritional counseling with iron folate supplements, adherence during pregnancy and maternal under nutrition screening needs to be strengthened effort to reduce incidence of LBW infants.

Abstract Background Low birth weight is weight less than 2500 g or 5.5 lb. at birth. Globally, more than 20 million infants (15-20%) are born with a low birth weight each year. Birth weight is the primary indicator of the health status of neonates and is the primary factor that determines the infant’s physical, survival, and mental growth. Thus, the study aimed to investigate the determinants of low birth weight among newborn babies delivered at Tirunesh Beijing General Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Methods We performed a facility-based unmatched case-control study among 453 (151 cases and 302 controls) deliveries conducted at Tirunesh Beijing General Hospital. Birth records and maternal antenatal care (ANC) files were reviewed from March 1 to April 30, 2019. Consecutive sampling was employed to select study participants. Data were entered into Epi-data version 4.2.1 and analyzed using SPSS version 25 statistical software. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis were computed to identify independent determinants of low birth weight. A p-value of ≤0.05 was used to declare statistical significance. Result Four hundred fifty-three birth records of babies (151 cases and 302 controls) were reviewed. Women who reside in rural area [AOR (CI) = 3.12 (1.63-5.98)], being merchant [(AOR (CI) = 2.90 (1.03-8.22)], danger sign during pregnancy [(AOR (CI) = 4.14 (1.68-10.2)], and maternal weight during pregnancy [(AOR (CI) = 4.94 (3.26-7.52)] were found to be a significant determinants of low birth weight. Conclusion Residence, occupation, danger signs, and maternal weight during pregnancy were significant determinants of low birth weight. Socioeconomic development, early detection and management of complications, and encouraging nutrition and weight during pregnancy are crucial for minimizing the risk of delivering low birth weight babies.

ABSTRACT [Perinatal mortality is a major problem, especially in developing countries. Approximately 98-99% of perinatal deaths occur in developing countries, while in developed countries only about 1-2%. Contributions perinatal mortality rate in Indonesia is still quite high, and perinatal mortality of 400 per 100,000 live births, or about 200,000 people per year so that the perinatal mortality occurs every 1.2-1.5 minutes. In the Muhammaddiyah hospital Palembang obtained perinatal mortality by the year 2013 as many as 52 cases. Many things that cause perinatal death include birth weight, maternal age, gestational age, mode of delivery and parity. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of birth weight, maternal age, gestational age, mode of delivery and parity simultaneously with perinatal death. This type of research is a case control study conducted retrospectively. The population in this study were all women giving birth in hospital Muhammadiyah Palembang in the year 2013 that berjumlah2565. The study sample totaled 156 respondents. In this study conducted univariate, bivariate and multivariate analyzes. From the analysis we found no association between birth weight to perinatal mortality (P Value 0.000 OR 4.250), no association of maternal age with perinatal mortality (OR 0.05 P Value 2.091), no correlation gestational age with perinatal mortality (OR 0.000 P Value 7.667), no association method of childbirth with perinatal mortality (P Value 1.000 OR 1.043), no parity relationship with perinatal mortality (P Value 0.511 OR 0.744). The most dominant variable is the age of the pregnancy. It is suggested to the leadership of Muhammadiyah hospital Palembang is hoped to be able to further improve health care programs for women giving birth so as to prevent the occurrence of complications during labor which can lead to perinatal mortality and increase the awareness programs on the importance of antenatal care during pregnancy that can detect early complications of pregnancy to facilitate the birth process.   ABSTRAK Kematian perinatal merupakan masalah besar khususnya di negara sedang berkembang. Sekitar 98-99 % kasus kematian perinatal terjadi di negara sedang berkembang sedangkan di negara maju hanya sekitar 1-2 %. Kontribusi angka kematian perinatal di Indonesia masih cukup tinggi, yaitu kematian perinatal 400 per 100.000 persalinan hidup atau sekitar 200.000 orang pertahun sehingga kematian perinatal terjadi setiap 1,2-1,5 menit. Di Rumah Sakit Muhammaddiyah Palembang didapatkan kematian perinatal pada tahun 2013 sebanyak 52 kasus. Banyak hal yang menyebabkan kematian perinatal diantaranya berat badan lahir, usia ibu, usia kehamilan, cara persalinan dan paritas. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui hubungan berat badan lahir, usia ibu, usia kehamilan, cara persalinan dan paritas secara simultan dengan kematian perinatal. Jenis penelitian ini merupakan penelitian case control study yang dilakukan secara retrospektif. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah semua ibu bersalin di rumah sakit Muhammadiyah Palembang pada Tahun 2013 yang berjumlah2565. Sampel penelitian ini berjumlah 156 responden. Dalam penelitian ini dilakukan analisis univariat, bivariat dan multivariat. Dari hasil analisis didapatkan ada hubungan antara berat badan lahir dengan kematian perinatal (P Value 0,000 OR 4,250), ada hubungan usia ibu dengan kematian perinatal (P Value 0,05 OR 2,091), ada hubungan usia kehamilan dengan kematian perinatal (P Value 0,000 OR 7,667), tidak ada hubungan cara persalinan dengan kematian perinatal (P Value 1,000 OR 1,043), tidak ada hubungan paritas dengan kematian perinatal (P Value 0,511 OR 0,744). Variabel paling dominan adalah usia kehamilan. Disarankan kepada pimpinan rumah sakit Muhammadiyah Palembang Diharapkan untuk dapat lebih meningkatkan program pelayanan kesehatan kepada ibu bersalin sehingga  mencegah terjadinya komplikasi selama persalinan yang dapat menyebabkan kematian perinatal serta meningkatkan program penyuluhan tentang pentingnya pemeriksaan kehamilan selama masa kehamilan yang dapat mendeteksi dini komplikasi kehamilan untuk memperlancar proses persalinan.

Objective Low birth weight (LBW) infants (<2,500 g) continued to be a global health problem because of the associated short- and long-term adverse outcomes. The study aimed to determine the prevalence, risk factors, and short-term outcomes of term LBW infants Study Design A prospective and case–control study. All infants born consecutively from September 1, 2018 to August 31, 2019 were included. Cases, term LBW infants, were 1:1 matched to controls, appropriate for gestational age (AGA) term infants. Major congenital or chromosomal anomalies and multiple pregnancies were excluded. Results The prevalence of term LBW in the studied period was 4.8%. Mothers of term LBW infants had significantly lower body mass index (p = 0.05), gained less weight (p = 0.01), had a history of previous LBW (p = 0.01), and lower monthly income (p = 0.04) compared with mothers of term AGA infants even after adjustment for confounders. A nonsignificant higher number of term LBW infants needed NICU admission, while their need for phototherapy was deemed significant. Conclusion We identified nutritional and socioeconomic maternal factors that are significantly associated with LBW infants and should be targeted during antenatal visits to improve neonatal outcomes.
