Development of Prediction Models for Antenatal Care Attendance in Amhara Region, Ethiopia.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Antenatal care prevents maternal and neonatal deaths and improves birth outcomes. There is a lack of predictive models to identify pregnant women who are at high risk of failing to attend antenatal care in low-resource settings.

Objective

To develop a series of predictive models to identify women who are at high risk of failing to attend antenatal care in a rural setting in Ethiopia.

Design, setting, and participants

The study was conducted at the Birhan field site, North Shewa zone, Ethiopia, a platform for community- and facility-based research and training, with a focus on maternal and child health.
