In Ethiopia, several studies were conducted on ANC service utilization; however, limited studies quantified the effect of care on maternal and perinate health. In response to this gap, this study is conducted to quantify the effect of optimal ANC care (\u22654 visits) on maternal and perinatal health among women who received optimal care in comparison to women who did not receive optimal care.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The study utilized the Ethiopian perinatal death surveillance and response (PDSR) system dataset. A total of 3,814 reviewed perinatal deaths were included in the study. Considering the nature of the data, preferential within propensity score matching (PWPSM) was performed to determine the effect of optimal ANC care on maternal and perinatal health. The effect of optimal care was reported using average treatment effects of the treated [ATT].<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Result<\/jats:title><jats:p>The result revealed that optimal ANC care had a positive effect on reducing perinatal death, due to respiratory and cardiovascular disorders, [ATT\u2009=\u2009\u22120.015, 95%CI (\u22120.029 to \u22120.001)] and extending intrauterine life by one week [ATT\u2009=\u20091.277, 95%CI: (0.563\u20131.991)]. While it's effect on maternal health includes, avoiding the risk of having uterine rupture [ATT\u2009=\u2009\u22120.012, 95%CI: (\u22120.018 to \u22120.005)], improving the utilization of operative vaginal delivery (OVD) [ATT\u2009=\u20090.032, 95%CI: (0.001\u20130.062)] and avoiding delay to decide to seek care [ATT\u2009=\u2009\u22120.187, 95%CI: (\u22120.354 to \u22120.021)].<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Obtaining optimal ANC care has a positive effect on both maternal and perinatal health.
