This was due to poor thermal care in most of the rural communities. Recent studies show that there was a prevalence discrepancy between urban and rural communities where economic, educational, and life standard differences exist. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the prevalence and factors associated with neonatal hypothermia among neonates in rural and urban areas of the Shebadino woreda, Sidama region, Ethiopia.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A comparative community-based cross-sectional study was performed on 682 neonates in the Shebadino Woreda, Sidama Region, southern Ethiopia, in 2023. A multistage sampling technique was used, and the collected data were manually cleaned, coded, and entered into Epi Data version 4.6 before being exported to SPSS version 26 software for analysis. Variables with a p-value\u2009&lt;\u20090.25 in the bivariate logistic regression were further analyzed using multivariable logistic regression. The odds ratio (OR) with 95% CI was used as a measure of association, and variables that had a p-value less than 0.05 in the multivariable logistic regression were considered significantly associated variables.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The overall prevalence of neonatal hypothermia in this study was 51.8% (95% CI: 47.2%-56.3%).
