Sociodemographic and maternal health-related factors associated with mortality among children under three in Bangladesh: an analysis of data from Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey 2017-18
Higher odds of U3 child mortality were associated with mothers who did not use contraceptives, delivered vaginally, and were aged 30-39 years in Bangladesh. Conversely, higher maternal education and larger family size were associated with lower odds of U3 child mortality. The findings suggest that community-based family planning awareness programs focused on contraceptive use, as it prevents childbirth and is also a marker of health service usage.
