Southern Ethiopian skilled birth attendant variations and maternal mortality: A multilevel study of a population-based cross-sectional household survey.

Studies examining skilled birth attendants (SBA) use and its correlation with maternal mortality at lower administrative levels are scarce. This study assessed the coverage and variations of SBA, the physical accessibility of health facilities for SBA, and the association of SBA with maternal mortality. A cross-sectional study using a population-based household survey was conducted in six Sidama National Regional State, southern Ethiopia districts, from July 2019 to May 2020.

Reduction in maternal mortality ratio varies by district in Sidama National Regional State, southern Ethiopia: Estimates by cross-sectional studies using the sisterhood method and a household survey of pregnancy and birth outcomes.

Background: Few studies assess the magnitude, variations, and reduction of maternal mortality at a lower administrative level. This study was conducted to estimate the life time risk (LTR) of maternal death and the maternal mortality ratio (MMR) and assess the reduction in MMR.

Methods: This is a population-based cross-sectional study conducted in six districts of Sidama National Regional State, southern Ethiopia, from July 2019 to May 2020.

Prevalence and incidence of symptomatic pulmonary tuberculosis based on repeated population screening in a district in Ethiopia: a prospective cohort study.
