Article Synopsis
- Early neonatal deaths from preterm births are a major public health concern, particularly in developing countries like Ethiopia, where predictors of preterm birth had not been thoroughly studied.
- A health facility-based case-control study in Western Ethiopia (2017/2018) involved 358 women, revealing several significant predictors of preterm birth, including lack of antenatal care and previous preterm births.
- The study highlights the complexity of preterm delivery risk factors, emphasizing the need for region-specific research to inform healthcare strategies and improve maternal and neonatal outcomes.
