Magnitude of Neonatal Near Miss and Associated Factors in Hospitals of South West Shoa Zone, Central Ethiopia: A Cross-Sectional Study.

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
Background: Every year, almost 30 million neonates worldwide require hospitalization as a result of life-threatening situations. Neonatal mortality rate occurrences can have long-term negative impacts on a child's and their family's health, well-being, and lifespan. Ethiopia has made efforts to increase infant survival, although the rate of neonatal death remains high.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the frequency of neonatal near-misses and related variables in South West Shoa Zone hospitals in Central Ethiopia in 2022. Methods: From September 9 to November 8, 2022, an institution-based cross-sectional study was carried out in the Southwest Shoa Zone. Three hundred fifty-six mothers and their corresponding newborns were carefully chosen, and the interviewer delivered a structured questionnaire along with a review of the mothers' and newborns' medical records to gather the data. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were employed to determine the factors linked to neonatal near misses. Findings: The neonatal near-miss had a magnitude of 29.2% (95% CI = 24.47%, 33.96%). Pregnancy-induced hypertension (AOR: 3.07; 1.15, 8.14), non-vertex presentation (AOR = 5.27; 1.83, 15.16), antepartum hemorrhage (AOR = 5.28; 1.72, 16.18), premature rupture of membrane (AOR = 4.03; 1.88, 8.64), inadequate prenatal care visit (AOR = 2.66; 1.49, 4.76), and cesarean section delivery (AOR = 2.96; 1.28, 3.87) were found to be significant predictors of neonatal near miss. Conclusion: According to this study, almost three out of ten newborns born in hospitals have a neonatal near-miss that is influenced by multiple factors. To lower neonatal near misses, it is crucial to improve prenatal care visits and to identify and treat obstetric issues early.
