Abstract:
Preterm birth is described as babies that are born alive before the end of 37 weeks of pregnancy. About 15 million babies are born preterm annually and more than a million died due to complications. In developing nations, like Ethiopia, PTB is underreported and underestimated. Objective - to identify determinates of preterm birth among mothers who gave birth at Felege Hiwot Comprehensive Specialized Referral Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia. Unmatched case-control study design was conducted. The total sample size was 558 mothers 140 cases and 418 controls. Simple random sampling was used to select the study population. Data were coded and entered into Epidata, version 3.2, and was analyzed by using STATA version 14. Mothers with a history of antepartum hemorrhage (AOR 3.53, 95% CI 1.31-9.47), premature rupture of membrane (AOR 8.9, 95% CI 4.51-17.57), pregnancy-induced hypertension (AOR 3.65, 95% CI 1.78-7.51), history of multiple pregnancies (AOR 2.49, 95% CI 0.89-6.95), primigravida (AOR 0.16, 95% CI 0.03-0.97) and Primiparity(AOR 0.054, 95% CI 0.05-0.64) had statistically significant association with experiencing preterm birth. The odds of giving preterm birth were higher among women with antepartum hemorrhage, PIH, PROM, and multiple pregnancies, but lower among primigravida and primiparous mothers.
摘要:
早产被描述为在怀孕37周结束前活着出生的婴儿。每年约有1500万婴儿早产,100多万婴儿因并发症死亡。在发展中国家,像埃塞俄比亚一样,PTB被低估和低估。目标-确定在FelegeHiwot综合专业转诊医院分娩的母亲中早产的决定因素,埃塞俄比亚西北部。进行了不匹配的病例对照研究设计。总样本量为558名母亲140例和418名对照。使用简单随机抽样来选择研究人群。数据被编码并输入Epidata,版本3.2,并使用STATA版本14进行了分析。有产前出血病史的母亲(AOR3.53,95%CI1.31-9.47),胎膜早破(AOR8.9,95%CI4.51-17.57),妊娠高血压(AOR3.65,95%CI1.78-7.51),多胎妊娠史(AOR2.49,95%CI0.89-6.95),初产妇(AOR0.16,95%CI0.03-0.97)和初产妇(AOR0.054,95%CI0.05-0.64)与早产有统计学显著关联.产前出血妇女早产的几率较高,PIH,PROM,和多胎妊娠,但在初产妇和初产妇中更低。
