- Obstructed labor significantly affects maternal and neonatal health in Ethiopia, with varying prevalence and determinants identified across multiple studies.
- A meta-analysis of 15 studies involving over 34,000 participants found an overall prevalence of 11.79%, highlighting critical risk factors such as maternal age (15-19 years), malpresentation, inadequate ante-natal care, and fetal weight over 4kg.
- The findings underscore the necessity for targeted interventions and health care planning to address these determinants and improve maternal care in Ethiopia.
Background: Sick neonates can be early readmitted if and only if their mothers have good knowledge of the key neonatal danger signs at first discharge. Thus, it was aimed to assess the level and determinants of maternal knowledge on these signs at first discharge from NICU.
Methods: A hospital based cross sectional study design was employed at Debre Tabor General Hospital, South Gondar Zone.
