Birth asphyxia is a serious clinical problem of newborn babies, which occurs due to impaired blood-gas exchange and results in hypoxemia. Despite improvements in the diagnosis and management of perinatal asphyxia, it has become the leading cause of admission and neonatal mortality, especially in developing countries. Objective. This study was aimed at assessing factors associated with perinatal asphyxia among live births in the public health facilities of Bahir Dar city, Northwest Ethiopia, 2021. Method. Health facility-based cross-sectional study was employed from April 1-30\/2021 in the public health facilities of Bahir Dar city among 517 mother-newborn pairs. The data were collected by systematic random sampling technique, entered by using Epi data 3.1, and analyzed using SPSS 25.0 version. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were employed to estimate the crude and adjusted odds ratio with a confidence interval of 95% and a <jats:inline-formula>\n                     <a:math xmlns:a=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M1\">\n                        <a:mi>P<\/a:mi>\n                     <\/a:math>\n                  <\/jats:inline-formula> value of less than 0.05 considered statistically significant.

Conclusion and Recommendation. In the present study, the proportion of perinatal asphyxia was high. To mitigate this problem, there is a need to focus on early identification of the risk factors like fetal malpresentation, preterm labor\/delivery, and managing them appropriately. Administering uterotonic drugs should be based on indication with close supervision.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2021\/3180431","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,8]],"date-time":"2021-11-08T20:50:07Z","timestamp":1636404607000},"page":"1-9","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Perinatal Asphyxia and Its Associated Factors among Live Births in the Public Health Facilities of Bahir Dar City, Northwest Ethiopia, 2021"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2021","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2871-9450","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Magarsa Lami","family":"Dabalo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing and Midwifery, Haramaya University, College of Health and Medical Sciences, Harar, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7143-635X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Simachew","family":"Animen Bante","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Midwifery, Bahir Dar University, College Medicine and Health Sciences, Bahir Dar, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Getahun","family":"Belay Gela","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Midwifery, Bahir Dar University, College Medicine and Health Sciences, Bahir Dar, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8010-1482","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Selamawit","family":"Lake Fanta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Midwifery, Bahir Dar University, College Medicine and Health Sciences, Bahir Dar, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6912-1025","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Lemesa","family":"Abdisa Sori","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing and Midwifery, Haramaya University, College of Health and Medical Sciences, Harar, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7639-3363","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Wondu","family":"Feyisa Balcha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Midwifery, Bahir Dar University, College Medicine and Health Sciences, Bahir Dar, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9249-0283","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Yomilan Geneti","family":"Muse","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing and Midwifery, Dire Dawa University, College of Health Sciences, Dire Dawa, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tigist","family":"Derebe Tesfahun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Midwifery, Bahir Dar University, College Medicine and Health Sciences, Bahir Dar, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"1","first-page":"247","article-title":"WHO: recommended definitions, terminology and format for statistical tables related to the perinatal period and use of a new certificate for cause of perinatal deaths.
