Spatial variation and associated factors of home delivery among reproductive age group women in Ethiopia, evidence from Performance Monitoring for Action Ethiopia Survey 2019, spatial and multilevel logistic regression analysis

IntroductionHome birth is described as a delivery that takes place at home without the presence of a skilled birth attendant. In 2017, nearly 295,000 mothers died from various pregnancy and childbirth-related problems, accounting for approximately 810 maternal deaths per day. Therefore, this study a...

description IntroductionHome birth is described as a delivery that takes place at home without the presence of a skilled birth attendant. In 2017, nearly 295,000 mothers died from various pregnancy and childbirth-related problems, accounting for approximately 810 maternal deaths per day. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the spatial distributions of home birth and associated factors in Ethiopia using the Performance Monitoring for Action Survey (PMAS) 2019) to get information that helps to take geographic-based interventions and can assist health planners and policymakers in developing particular measures to reduce home deliveries.MethodIn PMA-ET 2019, a community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in collaboration with Addis Ababa University, Johns Hopkins University, and the Federal Ministry of Health from September 2019 to December 2019, in Ethiopia. A multi-stage cluster sampling procedure was employed to draw from the stratified 2019 PMAS sample. A weighted total of 5,796 women were included in this study. ArcGIS version 10.7 software was used to visualize the spatial analysis. In addition, STATA version 14 of the statistical software was used for multilevel analysis The Bernoulli model was applied using Kulldorff's SaTScan version 9.6 software to identify significant purely spatial clusters for home delivery in Ethiopia. Intra-class Correlation Coefficient (ICC), Likelihood Ratio (LR) test, Median Odds Ratio (MOR), and deviance (−2LLR) values were used for model comparison and fitness. Adjusted Odds Ratios (AOR) with a 95% Confidence Interval (CI) and p-value <0.05 in the multilevel logistic model were used to declare significant factors associated with home delivery.ResultThe spatial distribution of home delivery was non-random in Ethiopia. Statistically significant high hotspots of home delivery were found in Somali, Afar, Sidama, most of South Nation Nationality and People Region (SNNP), most parts of Amhara, south west Ethiopia, and Oromia region. In the multilevel logistic regression model; Women from the lowest wealth quintile were 1.68 times [AOR = 1.68; 95% CI: 1.31, 2.15] higher odds of giving birth at home as compared to their counterparts. Regarding maternal educational status, mothers who had no education, primary education, and secondary education had 9.91 times [AOR = 9.91, 95% CI: 5.44, 18.04], 6.62 times [AOR = 6.62, 95% CI: 3.65, 12.00] and 2.99 times [AOR = 2.99, 95% CI: 1.59, 5.63] higher odds of giving birth at home compared to mothers who attained higher education, respectively. In addition, community-level factors were significantly associated with home delivery, women who had high community-level poverty were 1.76 times [AOR = 1.76; 95% CI: 1.14, 2.72] higher odds of home delivery compared to women who had low community-level poverty.ConclusionHome delivery was statistically found to be a significantly high hot spot in Somalia, Afar, Sidama, most of the South Nation Nationality and People area (SNNP), most of Amhara, southwest Ethiopia, and the Oromia region of Ethiopia. Significant factors associated with home delivery in Ethiopia were women with lower levels of education, poor wealth, living in rural areas, high levels of community poverty, divorced or separated widowed marital status, and older maternal ages. Therefore, health institutions, health professionals, National and regional policymakers health planners community leaders and all concerned should give priority to the identified hot spot clusters to design an effective intervention program to reduce home delivery.
