Spatial distribution and determinants of full package maternal health service utilization in Ethiopia using 2019 Mini Ethiopian Demographic Health Survey.

ABSTRACT: Antenatal Care, use of skilled delivery attendants, Institutional delivery and postnatal care services are key maternal health services that can significantly reduce maternal mortality. The objective of this study was to identify spatial distribution and factors that affect full package utilization of maternal health services in Ethiopia. Sampling weights were applied, and analyses were conducted using STATA version 17. Spatial statistics, including Moran's I and Getis-Ord Gi*, were performed in ArcGIS to assess spatial autocorrelation and identify FPMHSU clusters. SaTScan software detected purely spatial clusters. Multilevel binary logistic regression identified individual- and community-level factors. Model selection was based on a significant log-likelihood ratio test and Variables with
