“…Our study also revealed that infants born at health facilities were less likely to die before first birth day than infants born at home. This result is consistent with the previous studies 17 , 21 , 31 , 39 – 41 . This could be due to that babies born at health facilities may get better care during the delivery as it assisted by health professionals compared to those born at home.…”

Background: Infant mortality is one of the most sensitive and commonly used indicators of the social and economic development of a nation. Ethiopia is among the African countries with high infant mortality rates. This study aimed to understand and identify correlates of infant mortality in Ethiopia. Methods: The data, used in this study, were drawn from 2019 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey data. The multivariable Cox proportional hazard analysis was done to identify the correlates of infant mortality. Results: Infant mortality rate was high in the earlier age of months. Males, higher birth order and rural residences were at higher risk of dying before first birthday compared with respective reference groups whereas health facility deliveries, single births, rich wealth indices and older maternal age were at lower risk of dying before first birthday compared with respective reference groups. Conclusion: The study found that age of mother, place of residence, wealth index, birth order, type of birth, child sex and place of delivery were statistically significant in affecting the survival of the infants. Thus, health facility deliveries should be encouraged and multiple birth infants should be given special care. Furthermore, younger mothers should better care of their babies to improve the survival of infants in Ethiopia.

“…Similarly, infants whose birth type was single were less likely to die before first birthday than infants whose birth type was multiple. This agrees with studies 11 , 17 , 21 , 31 , 42 , 45 – 50 . This could be because of that multiple births share foods and cares provided to them whereas the singletons use without sharing.…”

“…This is consistent with prior studies [28,33,43,51]. Higher U5M rate was also associated with children of multiple births, which is consistent with the studies [8][9][10]32,39,48,52,53]. Lower U5M rate was associated with larger family size.…”

Background Remarkable reduction in global under-five mortality has been seen over the past two decades. However, Ethiopia is among the five countries which account for about half (49%) of all under-five mortality worldwide. This study aimed at identifying factors associated with under-five children mortality in Ethiopia using the 2019 Ethiopia mini demography and health survey data. Methods The most recent national representative demography and health survey data of Ethiopia, 2019 Ethiopia mini demography and health survey data, were used for this study. Count data regression models were applied to identify the factors associated with under-five children mortality. Statistical significance was declared at P-value less than 0.05. Results Zero-Inflated Poisson (ZIP) regression model was found to be the best model compared to other count regression models based on models comparison Criteria. The ZIP model revealed that decreased risk of under-five mortality was associated with mothers aged 25–34 years, unmarried mothers, mothers delivered in health facility, mothers used Pill/IUD, mothers who had larger number of children at home whereas increased risk of under-five mortality was associated with older mothers at their first births, mothers from rural areas, mothers travel for 1–30 min and >30 min to get drinking water, mothers used charcoal and wood, children with higher birth order and multiple births. Conclusions In this study, place of residence, region, place of delivery, religion, age of mother, mother’s age at first birth, marital status, birth order, birth type, current contraceptive type used, type of cooking fuel, time to get drinking water, and number of children at home were statistically significant factors associated with under-five mortality in Ethiopia. Thus, the Ethiopian Ministry of Health and other concerned bodies are recommended to encourage mothers to deliver at health institutions, give awareness for mothers to use Pill/IUD contraceptive type, and facilitate rural areas to have electricity and drinking water near to homes so as to minimize the under-five mortality to achieve the sustainable development goal.
