Spatial distribution and determinants of early postnatal discharge among vaginally delivered mothers in Ethiopia: spatial and multilevel analysis of Ethiopian demographic survey data.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Postnatal hospital care is aimed to detect any complications for both mother and child. Postnatal care should start as early as possible, especially during the first 24 hours. No study assessed the hotspot areas of early postnatal discharge and its community and individual level determinants in Ethiopia. Therefore this study aimed to fill the mentioned gap.

Methods

This study used the Ethiopian demographic and health survey 2016. A total of 2443 delivered mothers were included in the analysis. The non-spatial analysis was conducted using Stata V.14. A mixed-effect multilevel logistic regression model was fitted. Model comparison was done using Akaike's information criterion and log-likelihood ratio. Global Moran's index, spatial autocorrelations and spatial scan s
