Geographical variation and predictors of missing essential newborn care items during the immediate postpartum period in Ethiopia: Spatial and multilevel count analyses.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Essential Newborn care (ENC) is a High-quality universal newborn health care devised by the World Health Organization for the provision of prompt interventions rendered to newborns during the postpartum period. Even though conducting comprehensive studies could provide a data-driven approach to tackling barriers to service adoption, there was a dearth of studies in Ethiopia that assess the geographical variation and predictors of missing ENC. Hence, this study aimed to identify geographical, individual, and community-level predictors of missing ENC messages at the national level.

Methods
