Trend and decomposition analysis of risk factors of childbirths with no one present in Nigeria, 1990-2018.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To assess the trend and decompose the determinants of delivery with no one present (NOP) at birth with an in-depth subnational analysis in Nigeria.

Design

Cross-sectional.

Setting

Nigeria, with five waves of nationally representative data in 1990, 2003, 2008, 2013 and 2018.

Participants

Women with at least one childbirth within 5 years preceding each wave of data collection.

Primary and secondary outcome measures

The outcome of interest is giving birth with NOP at delivery defined as childbirth assisted by no one. Data were analysed using Χ² and multivariate decomposition analyses at a 5% significance level.

Results

The prevalence of having NOP at delivery was 15% over the studied period, ranges from 27% in 1990 to 11% in 201
