Birth preparedness and complication readiness practice among women attending antenatal care follow up in Yirgalem general hospital, southern Ethiopia.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
In developing countries, maternal and newborn mortality is a major public health issue. Birth preparedness and complication readiness is a method to encourage pregnant women to seek professional birth attendants as soon as possible. The aim of this study was to evaluate practice and factors associated with birth preparedness and complication readiness among women attending antenatal care, southern Ethiopia, in 2019. From September 1st to September 30th, 2019, a facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted. 422 pregnant women were randomly selected and interviewed using a structured questionnaire. Epi-data version 3.1 was used to enter data, while SPSS version 21 was used to analyze it. To find factors associated with birth preparedness and complications readiness, researchers used multivariable logistic regression.From 422 study participants, 205(48.6%) (95% CI: 46.9%, 49.8%) have birth preparedness and complication readiness practice. Age of respondent ≥ 37 years (AOR = 4.2, 95% C.I = 1.23, 14.24) and between 25 to 30 (AOR = 2.35, 95% C.I = 1.1, 5.1); level of education College and above(AOR = 5.59, 95% C.I 2.8, 11.2) and secondary school (AOR = 9.5, 95% C.I 3.99-22); previous history of ANC follow up (AOR = 4.33, 95% C.I = 2.46, 7.61), birth outcome with live birth(AOR = 3.53, 95% C.I = 1.51, 8.25), and history of birth at health facility (AOR = 3.09, 95% C.I = 1.72, 5.56) where factors significantly associated with birth preparedness and complication readiness practice. Overall, there was low birth preparedness and complication readiness practices were observed in current study. Age of respondents, level of education, history of ANC follow up, and history of birth at a health facility were factors associated with birth preparedness and complication readiness practice. Governments with other stakeholders should work by focusing on antenatal care and institutional delivery by focusing on older age group mothers with who has no formal education.
