Perceived quality of maternal care and its barriers based on women's perspective in hospitals of Northwest Ethiopia: a qualitative study.

Background: The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in health focus on achieving equity to reduce maternal mortality disparities among subpopulations globally. The goal is to lower the maternal mortality ratio (MMR) to below 70 per 100,000 live births by 2030 for countries with an MMR below 420 in 2010.

Individual and community-level factors associated with adequate antenatal care service utilization in sub-Saharan Africa.

Background: Sub-Saharan Africa (sSA) continues to rank among the regions in the world with the highest rates of maternal mortality and the lowest rates of utilization of maternal health care. The risk of death for women in sSA is 268 times higher than that of women in high-income nations. Adequate antenatal care (ANC) services utilization is essential to the mother's and the baby's survival and well-being.

Utilization of integrated community-based case management of childhood illness and associated factors in Ethiopia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Despite significant progress being made in reducing under-five mortality, three-fourths of under-five deaths are still caused by preventable conditions such as pneumonia, diarrhea, malaria, and newborn issues. Integrated community case management of childhood illnesses (ICCM) could serve as a means to reduce preventable child mortality in Low- and Middle-Income countries. Our aim was to assess the overall level of ICCM utilization and its associated factors in Ethiopia.

Methods: The study included 2126 post neonates born from mothers who had been interviewed about births in the five years before the survey.

Geographical variation and determinants of women unemployment status in Ethiopia; A multilevel and spatial analysis from 2016 Ethiopia Demographic and Health Survey data.

Background: Unemployment is a major problem in both developed and developing countries. In Ethiopia, women unemployment is particularly high, and this makes it a grave socio-economic concern. The aim of this study is to assess the spatial distribution and identify the determinant factors of women unemployment in Ethiopia.

Factors associated with non-use of modern contraceptives among sexually active women in Ethiopia: a multi-level mixed effect analysis of 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey.

Background: Appropriate contraceptive use prevents unintended pregnancy, protects the health of mother and child, and promotes women's well-being. Use of modern Family planning in Ethiopia was still very low. The purpose of this study was to assess the factors that are associated with non-use of modern family planning services among women of reproductive age.

Prevalence and Associated Factors of Substance Use Male Population in East African Countries: A Multilevel Analysis of Recent Demographic and Health Surveys From 2015 to 2019.

Background: East Africa is still home to one of the world's highest rates of substance user. Substance use is primarily associated with male behavior and is becoming one of the region's most public health issues.

Methods: The study included data from 11 East African countries' Demographic and Health Surveys.

Time to Death and Its Determinant Factors Among Patients With Chronic Heart Failure in Northwest Ethiopia: A Retrospective Study at Selected Referral Hospitals.

Background: Heart failure (HF) is a major health problem that affects patients and healthcare systems worldwide. It is the leading cause of morbidity and death and negatively impacts the quality of life, healthcare costs, and longevity. However, the causes of death were not well defined.

Factors Associated With Community Based Health Insurance Healthcare Service Utilization of Households in South Gondar Zone, Amhara, Ethiopia. A Community-Based Cross-Sectional Study.

In Ethiopia, community-based health insurance was implemented to promote equitable access to sustainable quality health care and increase financial protection. The purpose of this study was to identify factors associated with community-based Health Insurance, Health Care Service Utilization of Households in the South Gondar Zone. A community-based cross-sectional study was employed.

Time to first antenatal care visit among pregnant women in Ethiopia: secondary analysis of EDHS 2016; application of AFT shared frailty models.

Background: The survival of pregnant women is one of great interest of the world and especially to a developing country like Ethiopia which had the highest maternal mortality ratios in the world due to low utilization of maternal health services including antenatal care (ANC). Survival analysis is a statistical method for data analysis where the outcome variable of interest is the time to occurrence of an event. This study demonstrates the applications of the Accelerated Failure Time (AFT) model with gamma and inverse Gaussian frailty distributions to estimate the effect of different factors on time to first ANC visit of pregnant women in Ethiopia.
