Article Synopsis
- Diarrhea is a significant health issue in Ethiopia, particularly in the Amhara Regional State, where the prevalence rate among children under-five is reported at 17.7%.
- The study used statistical methods, including multivariable logistic regression, to identify key risk factors associated with diarrhea, such as child gender, mother's education level, and family size.
- Findings indicate that having a male child, a mother with no education, and being in a larger family are linked to a higher risk of diarrhea in young children, with the rates in Amhara being notably higher than the national average.
Background: Though optimal antenatal care (ANC4+) use is absolutely critical, only 43% of women had ANC4+ in Ethiopia and nearly 64% in Tigray in 2019. Furthermore, only 20% of women had their first ANC visit during their first trimester in 2016. However, there is no literature on area based disparity of ANC4+ use in Tigray.

Background: Stillbirth is often defined as fetal death after 24 weeks of gestation, but a fetus greater than any combination of 16, 20, 22, 24, or 28 weeks gestational age and 350 g, 400 g, 500 g, or 1000 g birth weight may be considered stillborn depending on local law. Once the fetus has died, the mother may or may not have contractions and undergo childbirth or in some cases, a Caesarean section. Most stillbirths occur in full-term pregnancies.
