Unraveling the complexity of selected adverse neonatal outcomes in India: a multilevel analysis using data from a nationally representative sample survey.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The burden of adverse neonatal outcomes (ANOs), encompassing preterm birth(PTB), low birth weight(LBW), and early neonatal deaths, remain significant public health challenge globally, particularly in developing countries. The study aims to provide estimates of adverse birth outcomes and examine their correlates by using a multi-level model analysis at individual/household/community level.

Methodology

The study has chosen three ANOs such as preterm birth(PTB), low birth weight(LBW), and early neonatal deaths (based on available data) for constructing a combined indicator which is calculated by the presence of any one of these variables. We used National-Family-Health-Survey India data(2019-21). Multilevel(three-level) logistic regression model was used to find th
