The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and determinants of neonatal near miss in Ethiopia. The overall pooled prevalence of neonatal near miss was 35.51%, and factors such as primiparity, referral linkage, premature rupture of membrane, obstructed labor, and maternal medical complications during pregnancy were found to be significant determinants.
IntroductionNeonatal near miss is a condition of newborn infant characterized by severe morbidity (near miss), but survived these conditions within the first 27 days of life. It is considered as the first step to design management strategies that can contribute in reducing long term complication and mortality. The aim of this study was to assess prevalence and determinants of neonatal near miss in Ethiopia. MethodsThe protocol of this systematic review and meta-analysis was registered at the Prospero with a registration number of (PROSPERO 2020: CRD42020206235). International online databases such as PubMed, CINAHL, Google scholar, Global Health, Directory of open Access journal and African Index Medicus were used to search articles. Data extraction was undertaken with Microsoft Excel and STATA11 was used to conduct the Meta-Analysis. Random effect model analysis was considered when there was evidence of heterogeneity between the studies. ResultsThe overall pooled prevalence of neonatal near miss was 35.51% (95%CI: 20.32-50.70, I-2 = 97.0%, p = 0.000). Primiparity (OR = 2.52, 95%CI: 1.62, 3.42), referral linkage (OR = 3.92, 95%CI: 2.73, 5.12), premature rupture of membrane (OR = 5.05, 95%CI: 2.03, 8.08), Obstructed labor (OR = 4.27, 95%CI: 1.62, 6.91) and maternal medical complications during pregnancy (OR = 7.10, 95%CI: 1.23, 12.98) had shown significant statistical association with neonatal near miss. ConclusionThe prevalence of neonatal near miss in Ethiopia is evidenced to be high. Primiparity, referral linkage, premature rupture of membrane, obstructed labor and maternal medical complications during pregnancy were found to be determinant factors of neonatal near miss.
