Mapping the spatial distribution of harmful umbilical cord stump care among neonates in Ethiopia: A spatial with multilevel analysis
In Ethiopia, the distribution of harmful UCS care practices is non-random and highly clustered in the SNNPR, Somalia, Tigray, and Amhara regions. Both individual and community-level factors were significantly associated with the practice. Special emphasis needs to be provided for neonates from those hot-spot areas and to address the identified predictors of harmful umbilical cord stump care practices.
