Neonatal resuscitation in Eastern Africa: health care providers' level of knowledge and its determinants. A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Even though effective neonatal resuscitation prevents the consequences of neonatal death related to birth asphyxia, a significant portion of healthcare personnel lacked understanding or performed it inconsistently. It is critical to have a comprehensive study that demonstrates the overall level of knowledge of healthcare providers regarding neonatal resuscitation in Eastern Africa.

Methods

Articles were searched from Science Direct, JBI databases, Web of Sciences, PubMed, and Google Scholar. The primary outcome was the level of knowledge of health care providers regarding neonatal resuscitation. Data were analyzed using Stata version 18 statistical software. The overall estimates with a 95% confidence interval were estimated using a random effect model.
