Why maternal continuum of care remains low in Northwest Ethiopia? A multilevel logistic regression analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Non-adherence to the maternal continuum of care remains a significant challenge. Though early initiation and continuum of care are recommended for mothers' and newborns' well-being, there is a paucity of evidence that clarify this condition in resource-limited settings.

The random and fixed effects were reported using an adjusted odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval. The p-value of 0.05 was used to declare significantly associated fact
