Determinant factors of under-five mortality in rural Ethiopia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Under-five mortality is a crucial sign of how well a country's healthcare system is performing. Despite a slight drop, Ethiopia's under-five mortality rate is still high in the nation's rural areas. So this study aimed to identify determinant factors of under-five mortality in rural Ethiopia.

Methods

A cross-sectional community-based survey was carried out. A total of 4414 weighted under-five children from nine geographical regions and one administrative city of Ethiopia were included in the EMDHS 2019 dataset by removing urban residents. The statistical program SPSS version 26 was used to examine the data. To determine if the dependent and independent variables are associated with one another, binary and multivariable logistic regression was utilized.
