“…Finally, a woman who had didn't work and whose husband has no work at all was found to have a higher risk of experiencing child mortality. This finding is consistent with [21,33] while some researchers in literature found there is no significant association between under-five mortalities occupational status of mothers and fathers [22,24].…”

“…Thus, educational level of mothers is an important and significant factor of under-five mortality risks in Ethiopia. Several studies in the literature reported a negative relationship between child death and mothers' education level [20][21][22][23][24]. They indicated that education improved the ability of mothers to implement simple health knowledge and facilitated their capacity to manipulate their environment, including healthcare facilities, and interact more effectively with health professionals.…”

“…Several studies have investigated that maternal age and education be found to be strongly correlated with child morality [9,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. Level of education is inversely associated with child mortality children of educated mothers having better survival than children of noneducated mothers [20][21][22][23][24].…”

“…Other determinants of child mortality may include place of residency [14,19,[25][26][27], family size and parity [9,[21][22][23], birth order, birth intervals [19,24], water source [21,26], and toilet facility [16,21]. Bearing many children increases the risk of maternal mortality and the death of the newborns as well [9,11].…”

Background. Though Ethiopia has made impressive progress in reducing child mortality in the past two decades, the reduction of under-five mortalities is a major concern for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) introduced in 2016 targeted to reduce under-5 mortality rate below 25 deaths of under-5 per 1,000 live births by 2030. This study aims to assess the risk factors attributed to under-five mortalities in Ethiopia region based on Ethiopian Demographic Health Survey 2016 dataset. Methods. The study was a secondary analysis of 2016, Ethiopian Demographic Health Survey and the information collected from 10,274 children born five years preceding the survey was considered in the study, and variables like maternal social and demographic characteristics, child demographic characteristics, and cultural and environmental factors were considered as determinants of under-five deaths. The study used descriptive statistics and logistic regression model to explore significant risk factors accredited to under-five deaths in Ethiopia. Results. Maternal education attainment, women age at first birth, women current age, child birth order, preceding birth interval, birth type, and occupation of mother were found significant predictors of under-five mortalities. Being born to mother with no education (OR=2.610, 95% CI: 1.598, 4.265), short birth spacing 1 to 18 months birth intervals (OR=2.164, 95% CI: 1.821, 2.570), birth order of five and above, and 11 to 17 years ages at birth (OR=1.556, 95% CI: 1.243, 1.949) were factors significantly associated with increased risk of under-five mortalities. Conclusion. The magnitude of under-five deaths in the study area was decreasing. However, under-five mortality rates have stayed higher in some regions. Therefore, interventions that focus on birth spacing, mothers living in Affar and Gambela, and uneducated mothers are required for improving child survival in Ethiopia.

“…Child death with multiple births is higher relative to singleton ones. Multiple births have a lower weight due to nutritional intake competition [ 10 , 12 , 13 , 29 ]. The result also showed that child mortality decreased with an increase in the length of the preceding birth interval, which confirms with findings from previous studies in Ethiopia that employed survival analysis and binary logistic regression models and where the preceding birth interval is negatively associated with mortality of a child [ 12 – 14 ].…”

The child mortality rate is an essential measurement of socioeconomic growth and the quality of life in Ethiopia which is one among the six countries that account for half of the global under-five deaths. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the potential risk factors for child mortality in Ethiopia. Data for the study was drawn from the Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey data conducted in 2016. A two-part random effects regression model was employed to identify the associated predictors of child mortality. The study found that 53.3% of mothers did not face any child death, while 46.7% lost at least one. Vaccinated child (IRR = 0.735, 95%CI: 0.647, 0.834), were currently using contraceptive (IRR = 0.885, 95%CI: 0.814, 0.962), who had antenatal care visit four or more times visit (IRR = 0.841, 95%CI: 0.737,0.960), fathers whose level of education is secondary or above(IRR = 0.695, 95%CI: 0.594, 0.814), mothers who completed their primary school(IRR = 0.785, 95%CI: 0.713, 0.864), mothers who have birth interval greater than 36 months (IRR = 0.728, 95%CI: 0.676, 0.783), where the age of the mother at first birth is greater than 16 years(IRR = 0.711, 95%CI: 0.674, 0.750) associated with the small number of child death. While multiple births (IRR = 1.355, 95%CI: 1.249, 1.471, four and above birth order (IRR = 1.487, 95%CI: 1.373, 1.612) and had working father (IRR = 1.125, 95%CI: 1.049, 1.206) associated with a higher number of child death. The variance components for the random effects showed significant variation of child mortality between enumeration areas. Policies and programs aimed at addressing enumeration area variations in child mortality need to be formulated and their implementation must be strongly pursued. Efforts are also needed to extend educational programmers aimed at educating mothers on the benefits of the antenatal checkup before first birth, spacing their birth interval, having their child vaccinated, and selecting a safe place of delivery to reduce child mortality.
