Magnitude and factors associated with iron supplementation among pregnant women in anemia hot spot regions of Ethiopia: Multilevel analysis based on Bayesian approach.

ABSTRACT:

Background

According to World Health Organization, pregnant women should take an oral iron and folic acid every day for at least 3 months to prevent preterm birth, low birth weight, maternal anemia, and puerperal sepsis. In addition to keeping maternal health, it also plays a key role to support the fetus's healthy growth and development. Therefore, it is very important to know the magnitude of iron supplementation and its determinants in anemia hot spot regions of Ethiopia using an appropriate statistical analysis method.

Objective

The aim of this study is to determine the magnitude of iron supplementation and its associated factors in anemia hot spot regions of Ethiopia among pregnant women.

Methods

The study was done using the 2019 Ethiopian Mini Demographic and He
