Although the causes vary from country to country, early identification and treatment of risk factors can improve the situation. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title><jats:p> To determine the risk factors of birth asphyxia in hospital-delivered neonates in Dodoma, Tanzania. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p> A matched case-control study was conducted from May to July 2017 at Dodoma Region Referral Hospital. Data were collected using a semistructured questionnaire and a standard antenatal care index card. Cases were neonates diagnosed with asphyxia at birth ( N\u2009\u2009=\u2009\u2009100), while controls were neonates not diagnosed with asphyxia at birth ( N\u2009\u2009=\u2009\u2009300). A binary logistic regression model was used to assess the independent variables associated with birth asphyxia and reported as crude and adjusted odds ratios along with their 95% confidence intervals. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p> A total of 400 newborns and their birth mothers were involved in the study. The average age of the case mothers was 26.9 years ( SD\u2009\u2009=\u2009\u20097.85) and that of the control mothers was 27.24 years ( SD\u2009\u2009=\u2009\u20096.08). Place of residence, anemia, maternal age, prenatal visits attended, use of herbs during labor, previously complicated pregnancy, duration of labor, meconium-stained amniotic fluid, and mode of delivery were predictors of birth asphyxia. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p> The study showed that most predictors of birth asphyxia can be prevented. The results suggest appropriate health education before conception, effective follow-up through prenatal care, early identification and treatment of high-risk pregnant women, and proper monitoring of labor and delivery. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/23779608241246874","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,24]],"date-time":"2024-04-24T15:11:07Z","timestamp":1713971467000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Risk Factors for Birth Asphyxia in Hospital-Delivered Newborns in Dodoma, Tanzania: A Case-Control Study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7920-4561","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Laidi S.","family":"Msisiri","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Nursing, School of Nursing and Public Health, University of Dodoma, Dodoma, Tanzania"},{"name":"Department of Pediatrics and Child Health, School of Clinical Medicine, Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences, Dar es salaam, Tanzania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3577-4068","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stephen M.","family":"Kibusi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health, School of Nursing and Public Health, University of Dodoma, Dodoma, Tanzania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Franisca D.","family":"Kimaro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics and Child Health, School of Clinical Medicine, Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences, Dar es salaam, Tanzania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr2-23779608241246874","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12884-019-2696-6"},{"key":"bibr3-23779608241246874","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.braindev.2016.09.005"},{"key":"bibr4-23779608241246874","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5409\/wjcp.v5.i1.67"},{"key":"bibr5-23779608241246874","unstructured":"Ahmady A., Ashriady A., Mariana D.(2020).
