Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Birth interval is the time period from live birth to a successive pregnancy or successive live birth which is the recommended to be at least 2 years or at least 33 months respectively. Both short and long birth intervals are associated with poor health outcomes for both mothers and babies. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to assess the length of birth intervals and its predictors among reproductive-age women in Dabat district.Methods: community-based cross-sectional survey conducted from December 10/2020 to January 10/2021. This study was done on 1262 multi para women. Five days training was given for the data collectors and supervisors. Bivariable and multivariable ordinal logistic regression analysis were done. Those variables which had P-value less than 0.25 in the bi variable analysis were entered to multivariable ordinal logistic regression analysis. An adjusted odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval and P-value less than 0.05 was used to determine significant determinants of birth interval.
UNASSIGNED: This study revealed that the magnitude of short and long birth interval was 30.59% and 22.82% respectively. Wealth status (poor: AOR = 0.72, CI: 0.53, 0.97), maternal education (Diploma and above: AOR = 2.79, CI: 1.18, 6.56), ANC follow up (having ante natal care: AOR = 2.15, CI: 1.72, 2.69), husband occupation (Employed: AOR = 1.77, CI: 1.03, 3.01) and history of abortion (abortion: AOR = 2.48, CI: 1.08, 5.66) were statistically significant factors.
UNASSIGNED: Higher percentage of mothers have either short or long birth interval. Birth interval is affected by socio demographic characteristics of mothers and husbands.

摘要：
■出生间隔是从活产到连续怀孕或连续活产的时间段，建议分别为至少2年或至少33个月。短出生间隔和长出生间隔都与母亲和婴儿的健康状况不佳有关。因此,这项研究的主要目的是评估Dabat地区育龄女性的出生间隔长度及其预测因素.方法：从2020年12月10日至2021年1月10日进行基于社区的横断面调查。这项研究是对1262名多段女性进行的。对数据收集者和主管进行了为期五天的培训。进行双变量和多变量有序logistic回归分析。将双变量分析中P值小于0.25的变量输入多变量序数逻辑回归分析。使用具有95％置信区间和P值小于0.05的调整后比值比确定出生间隔的重要决定因素。
■这项研究显示，短出生间隔和长出生间隔的大小分别为30.59％和22.82％。财富状况（差：AOR=0.72，CI：0.53，0.97），孕产妇教育（文凭及以上：AOR=2.79，CI：1.18，6.56），ANC随访（产前护理：AOR=2.15，CI：1.72，2.69），丈夫职业（就业：AOR=1.77，CI：1.03，3.01）和流产史（流产：AOR=2.48，CI：1.08，5.66）均有统计学意义。
■出生间隔短或长的母亲比例较高。出生间隔受母亲和丈夫的社会人口统计学特征的影响。
