Continuum of Maternal Health Care Services and its impact on Adverse Birth Outcomes in North Shoa Zone: An Application of the Propensity Score Matching Approach
Abstract:Background
The World Health Organization (WHO) defined: - low birth weight as a weight at birth less than 2500g. Adverse birth outcomes, low birth weight, and preterm birth, constitute an important danger to public health since they raise the likelihood of future diseases and developmental problems for children as well as fetal health status at birth. The study aimed to investigate propensity score methods for causal inference by removing selection bias from observational studies for adverse birth outcomes.
