Prevalence and determinants of adequate postnatal care in Ethiopia: evidence from 2019 Ethiopia mini demographic and health survey.
Article in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundThe postpartum period is critical for both the mother's and newborn child's health and survival. Rising morbidity and mortality are usually the consequence of absence of adequate, suitable, or timely care during that time period. There is lack of information on the adequacy of postnatal care in Ethiopia and this study was aimed to investigate adequacy of postnatal care and its determinants in the study area.
methodsIn this study, we used a cross-sectional dataset from the 2019 Ethiopia Mini Demographic and Health Survey. A multistage stratified clustered design applied and survey weights were used to take into account the complicated sample design. A multilevel mixed effects logistic regression was fitted on 3772 women who were nested within 305 clusters. The fixed effect models were fitted and expressed as adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals, while intra-class correlation coefficients, median odds ratio, and proportional change in variance explained measures of variation. As model fitness criteria, the deviance information criterion and the Akaike information criterion were used.
resultsThis study found that only 563(16.14%, 95% CI: 16.05-16.24) women had adequate post natal care. Age of between 25-35 years old (AOR = 1.55, 95%CI = 1.04-2.31), secondary level of education (AOR = 2.23, 95%CI = 1.43-3.45), Having parity of between two and four had (AOR = 0.62, 95%CI = 0.42 0.93), having ANC follow up four and above (AOR = 1.74, 95%CI = 1.31-2.33), being residents of Oromia region (AOR = 0.10, 95CI = 0.02- 0.43) were strong predictors of adequate postnatal care.
conclusionThe study found that prevalence of adequate PNC in Ethiopia was significantly low. To increase postnatal care adequacy, it was recommended to reinforce existing policies and strategies such as increasing number of antenatal care follow up, and scheduling mothers based on the national postnatal care follow-up protocol.
