“…Maternal age was discovered to be a major predictor of anemia in women in the Somali regional state in this study. This result is consistent with the study conducted in Uganda and Ethiopia [7,15]. The reason could be that women in reproductive age groups give birth to more children overall.…”

“…It was discovered that anemic women were less likely to reside in urban areas than in rural ones. This investigation agreed with studies carried out in several regions of Ethiopia [15,14,32]. This discrepancy may be caused by the higher household income, better antenatal care services, and better access to mass media for health service usages among women who live in metropolitan regions.…”

“…The Somali national regional state reported the highest percentage in Ethiopia, which was calculated to be at 59.5% [8,14]. Studies done in the past in Ethiopia have a national focus [15,16]. Such studies overlook a crucial consideration for those who build and plan policies since the results at the national level may not accurately reflect the situation at the regional state levels.…”

Background: Anemia for women in reproductive age continues to be a serious public health issue, especially in countries in Africa like Ethiopia. It is the most frequent reason for serious effects for both the mother and the fetus in women. There have been few investigations on the prevalence and determinants of anemia among reproductive women in the Somali regional state of Eastern Ethiopia. Because of this, the purpose of this study was to identify the prevalence and risk factors for anemia in the Somali regional state. Methods: From January 18 to June 27, 2016, a community-based cross-sectional investigation was carried out. STATA version 12 was used for the statistical analysis. We performed descriptive and summary statistics. To identify the significant factors connected to anemia, a multivariable binary logistic regression analysis was carried out after verifying for assumptions. In the multivariable model, risk factors for anemia were identified as adjusted odds ratios (AOR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) and p-value < 0.05. Results: In this study, the overall prevalence of anemia among reproductive women residing in the Somali regional state was 58.4% (95% CI (0.557–0.611)). Around 8.7%, 40.03% and 51.29% of which anemic level reproductive women (15-49 years) were with severe (hemoglobin level: < 7.0 g per dl), moderate (hemoglobin level: 7.0–9.9 g per dl) and mild (hemoglobin level: 10–10.9 g per dl) type respectively. The multivariable binary logistic analysis revealed, predictors of rural residence (AOR =1.4; 95% CI: (1.08–1.93)), giving birth at older age of maternal 20–29 (AOR = 1.7; 95% CI: (1.19–2.54)), 30–39 (AOR =1.9; 95% CI: (1.27–2.76)), and 40–49 (AOR =1.8; 95% CI: (1.08–2.97)) years, being having antenatal care (ANC) follow-up (AOR = 0.44; 95% CI: (0.224–0.868)), and home place of delivery (AOR =1.5; 95% CI: (1.04–2.21)) were statistically predictors associated with anemia. Conclusions: In general, it is still discovered that the prevalence of anemia among reproductive women in the research area is extremely high (far above the national average). Rural residence, home place of delivery, ANC follow-up, and giving birth at older age of maternal were investigated as significant associated predictors of anemia among the study participants. Therefore, filling in the gaps that were discovered should lessen the anemia that is now an issue for women in this study who are of reproductive age.

“…According to prior studies, neonatal mortality is determined by factors like sex of child, birth type, size of child at birth, birth weight, child's birth order, preceding birth interval, region, place of residence, number of Antenatal(ANC) visit of mother during pregnancy, number of Postnatal Care (PNC) visit of mother, place of delivery, mode of delivery, age of mother, educational level of mother, educational level of father, religion of mother, family size, household wealth index, parity, maternal anaemia, and marital status of mother [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22].…”

Background: Children face the highest risk of dying in their first month of life. Ethiopia is one of the sub-Saharan countries with highest newborn deaths. Afar and Somalia regions in Ethiopia are among the regions with high death rates of newborn children. This study aimed to analyse and identify determinants of neonatal mortality in Afar and Somalia regions, Ethiopia. Methods: This study used 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey data for the analysis. The multivariable logistic regression model was used to identify the significant determinants of neonatal mortality. Adjusted odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval and p-value < 0.05 in the multivariable logistic regression model was reported to declare the statistical significance and strength of association between neonatal mortality and determinants. Results: A total of 2567 newborn children were included in this study. Mortality rate among newborns in the first month was 41 per 1000 live births in Afar and Somalia regions. Health facility delivery (AOR: 0.634; 95% CI: 0.409–0.982), being female (AOR: 0.206; 95% CI: 0.073–0.528), multiple births (AOR: 3.958; 95% CI: 2.293–11.208), small size at birth (AOR: 1.208; 95% CI: 1.003–1.728), secondary and above educational level of mothers (AOR: 0.484; 95% CI: 0.294–0.797) were statistically significant determinants neonatal mortality. Conclusions: In this study, sex of child, place of delivery, birth type, size at birth, mother’s educational level were found to be statistically significant determinants of neonatal death in Afar and Somalia regions, Ethiopia. Mothers with no education should be given health education and institutional delivery should be encouraged to improve the survival of the neonates in Afar and Somalia regions, Ethiopia.

“…The main limitation of this study that the EMDHS is mostly based on respondents' self-report and might have the possibility of recall bias. In addition, variables such as weight at birth [48,55,56], anemia status of mother [56][57][58], breastfeeding status of child [7,48,59], diarrhea [49,60,61], desire of pregnancy [62][63][64][65], employment status of mother [49,66,67], educational level of father [68][69][70] and maternal HIV status [71][72][73] were not included in the study due to large number of missing values/unavailability in the dataset.…”

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.
