Objective: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of birth asphyxia and associated factors among newborns delivered in government hospitals of the Eastern Amhara region, Northeastern Ethiopia, 2022. Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted in 4 government hospitals between March 10, 2022, and May 8, 2022. The subjects in the study were selected using a systematic random sampling technique. Face-to-face interviews and chart reviews were used to collect the data. The association was discovered through multivariate logistic regression analysis. Result: In this study, the prevalence of birth asphyxia was 13.1% (48) of the total 367 newborns. Mothers who could not read and write (AOR = 9.717; 95% CI = 3.06, 10.857); infants born with low birth weight (AOR = 2.360; 95% CI = 1.004, 5.547); primipara mothers (AOR = 5.138; 95% CI = 1.060, 26.412); mothers with less than 37 weeks of gestation (AOR = 4.261; 95% CI = 1.232, 14.746); and caesarian section delivery (AOR = 2.444; 95% CI = 1.099, 5.432) were predictors of birth asphyxia. Conclusion: The magnitude of birth asphyxia has managed to remain a health concern in the study setting. As a result, special attention should be paid to uneducated and primi-mothers during antenatal care visits, and prematurity and caesarian section delivery complication reduction efforts should be bolstered to prevent birth asphyxia and its complications. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
