| dc.description | A total of 5128 neonates born 5 years before the survey from the Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey 2016 were reviewed. A multivariable logistic regression model was employed to assess the effect of women’s autonomy and identify the determinant predictors of neonate death risk. Neonatal mortality rate was significantly related to women’s lack of decision-making power on health care, not receiving postnatal care, delivering outside health institutions, not breastfeeding immediately, and giving birth multiple times. It is important to encourage mothers' autonomy, use postnatal care services, and deliver in health institutions. | |
