“…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.…”

“…Children born in a healthcare facility were at lower risk than those born at home. This finding agrees with studies [10,29,31,32]. This might be due to the proper health care and attention these facilities provide them during and after delivery.…”

“…The mothers living in rural areas had significantly higher mortality rate than mothers living in urban areas. Several researchers found similar results showing children from rural area had high mortality rate than urban area [9,14,27,28,[32][33][34][35]. The possible reason could be that urban areas are connected with quality health care services, good education and employment opportunities for mothers, implying a lower experience in children death.…”

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.

BackgroundAlthough early neonatal mortality (ENM) has been reported to have a greater contribution to the overall neonatal mortality compared to late neonatal mortality, no meta-analysis has studied this phenomenon in isolation. The prevalence of ENM and its predictors in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) remains unknown. Therefore, this meta-analysis is aimed at pooling the prevalence of ENM and its predictors in SSA.MethodsGoogle Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, and Google were searched for studies conducted in SSA that reported the prevalence and predictors of ENM. The data were extracted using a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and imported into R version 4.4.1 for further analysis. Publication bias, heterogeneity, sensitivity analysis, and subgroup analysis were performed. Prevalence and odds ratios were pooled using the random effects model if significant heterogeneity existed; otherwise, the fixed effects model was used.ResultsA total of 26 studies were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. The overall pooled prevalence of ENM in SSA was 11% (95% CI: 7-15;I2=100%). Birth asphyxia (OR=3.85; 95% CI: 1.12-13.21; P = 0.0388;I2= 86.6%), home delivery (OR=2.46; 95% CI: 1.79-3.38; p<0.001;I2= 0.0%), prematurity (OR=4.69; 95% CI: 3.57-6.16; p<0.001;I2= 36.8%), male gender (OR= 1.37; 95% CI: 1.28-1.46; P < 0.001;I2= 30.7%), delivery through caesarean section (OR=1.74; 95% CI: 1.49-2.02; P < 0.001;I2= 31.5%) and low birth weight (OR=3.00; 95% CI: 1.01-8.91; P = 0.0482;I2= 94.4%) were associated with a significant increase in pooled odds of ENM in SSA.ConclusionThe prevalence of ENM in SSA in significantly high and it contributes greatly to the overall neonatal mortality. Therefore, tailor-made interventions that target the reduction of birth asphyxia, prematurity, home delivery, and low birth weight should be implemented in order to reduce the burden of ENM in SSA.
