Object We assessed maternal delays and unfavourable newborn outcomes among skilled deliveries in public hospitals of Hadiya Zone, Southern Ethiopia using ‘the three maternal delays’ framework.Design A case–control study was conducted.Setting Public hospitals in Hadiya Zone, southern Ethiopia.Participants Sample of 57 cases and 121 controls participated from 4 September 2019 to 30 October 2019. Consecutive dead newborns at discharge or admitted newborns for more 24 hours after delivery were selected as cases. Two consecutive controls were selected from none cases discharged within 24 hours of skilled delivery.Results Total of 57 cases and 121 controls participated with 97.3% response rate. Forty-eight (84.2%), 46 (80.7%) and 51 (89.5%) of cases had first, second and third maternal delay, respectively. Eighty-six (71.1%), 18 (14.9%) and 69 (53.7%) of controls had first, second and third maternal delay, respectively. Cases with second maternal delay were 23.9 times more likely to have unfavourable newborn outcome when compared with controls. The first and third delays and wealth index were not significantly associated with newborn outcome in this study.Conclusions First, second and third maternal delays were higher in cases than controls. ‘Delay in reaching health facility’ was determinant for unfavourable newborn outcome in this study. However, ‘delay in decision-making to seek care’ and ‘delay in receiving care’ were not significantly associated with new born outcome. Government should work to improve labouring mother transportation. |
