Hierarchical Predictors of Mortality in Neonatal Sepsis at Jimma Medical Center, Ethiopia: A Case-Control Study.

Background: Neonatal sepsis made the neonatal period the most perilous time for child survival, and it continued to cause preventable mortalities worldwide. These mortalities stem from the interaction of several factors that have not been sufficiently studied and, in some cases, remain overlooked. Thus, the study aims to investigate the predictors of mortality that arise from the interaction of these factors and quantitatively determine their etiologic fraction.
