Multilevel analysis of grand multiparity: Trend and its determinants in the Sidama National Regional State of Ethiopia: a cross-sectional study design from demographic and health survey 2000-2016.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The study was aimed at examining the magnitude, trends and determinants of grand multiparity in the Sidama regional state of Ethiopia.

Design

We retrieved cross-sectional data from the Ethiopia Demographic and Health Survey from 2000 to 2016.

Setting

Community-based demographic and health survey (DHS) was conducted in Ethiopia.

Participants

The study population was women (aged 15-49 years) who had delivered children with the available DHS data set.

Outcomes

Multilevel multivariate logistic regression analyses assessed the relationship between grand multiparity and its determinants.

Results

The magnitude of grand multiparity was 70.8% (95% CI 68.5% to 72.9%). The multilevel multivariable logistic regression model showed illiteracy (adjust
