Ethiopia is one of the countries which shoulder the highest burden of preterm birth. Therefore, this study was aimed to assess factors associated with preterm birth at public hospitals in Sidama regional state.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n<jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Facility-based case-control study was conducted at public hospitals in Sidama regional state, from 1st June to 1st September\/2020. In this study, a total of 135 cases and 270 controls have participated. To recruit cases and controls consecutive sampling methods and simple random sampling techniques were used respectively. Data were collected using pretested structured interviewer-administered questionnaire, and checklist via chart review. Data were entered using EpiData version 3.1 and exported to SPSS version 20 for analysis. Independent variables with P-value &lt; 0.25 in the bivariate logistic regression were candidates for multivariable logistic regression analysis. Finally, statistical significance was declared at P-value &lt; 0.05.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The response rate was 100%. Rural resident (AOR = 2.034; 95%CI: 1.242, 3.331), no antenatal care service utilization (AOR = 2.516; 95%CI: 1.406, 4.503), pregnancy-induced hypertension (AOR = 2.870; 95%CI: 1.519, 5.424), chronic medical problem during pregnancy (AOR = 2.507; 95%CI: 1.345, 4.676), urinary tract infections (AOR = 3.023; 95%CI: 1.657, 5.513), birth space less than 2 years (AOR = 3.029; 95%CI: 1.484, 6.179), and physical intimate violence (AOR = 2.876; 95%CI: 1.534, 5.393) were significantly associated with preterm birth.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n<jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Most of the risk factors of preterm birth were found to be modifiable. Community mobilization on physical violence during pregnancy and antenatal care follow-up are the ground for the prevention of preterm birth because attentive and critical antenatal care screening practice could early identify risk factors. Besides, information communication education about preterm birth prevention was recommended.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0265594","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,20]],"date-time":"2022-04-20T17:32:37Z","timestamp":1650475957000},"page":"e0265594","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Factors associated with preterm birth among mothers who gave birth at public Hospitals in Sidama regional state, Southeast Ethiopia: Unmatched case-control study"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8495-3022","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Gossa","family":"Fetene","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tamirat","family":"Tesfaye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yilkal","family":"Negesse","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dubale","family":"Dulla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"pone.0265594.ref001","volume-title":"Seminars in perinatology","author":"SE Purisch","year":"2017"},{"issue":"1","key":"pone.0265594.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2393-10-S1-S1","article-title":"Global report on preterm birth and stillbirth (1 of 7): definitions, description of the burden and opportunities to improve data","volume":"10","author":"JE Lawn","year":"2010","journal-title":"BMC pregnancy and childbirth"},{"issue":"1","key":"pone.0265594.ref003","first-page":"1","article-title":"Born too soon: the global epidemiology of 15 million preterm births","volume":"10","author":"H Blencowe","year":"2013","journal-title":"Reproductive health"},{"key":"pone.0265594.ref004","unstructured":"WHO.
