Identifying neonatal near-miss events and identifying their predictors is crucial to developing comprehensive and pertinent strategies to alleviate neonatal morbidity and death. However, neither neonatal near-miss events nor their predictors were analyzed in the study area. Therefore, this study is aimed at assessing the predictors of neonatal near-misses among neonates born at Worabe Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Southern Ethiopia, in 2021<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A hospital-based unmatched case-control study was conducted from 10 November 2021 to 30 November 2021. A pre-tested, structured, and standard abstraction checklist was used to collect the data. After checking the data for completeness and consistency, it was coded and entered into Epi-Data 3.1 and then exported to Stata version 14 for analysis. All independent variables with a <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>-value \u22640.25 in bivariable binary logistic regression were entered into a multivariable analysis to control the confounding.

The identified predictors of neonatal near-misses were rural residence [adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 2.01; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.31\u20135.84], no antenatal care (ANC) follow-up visits (AOR: 2.98; 95% CI: 1.77\u20135.56), antepartum hemorrhage (AOR: 2.12; 95% CI: 1.18\u20134.07), premature rupture of the membrane (AOR: 2.55; 95% CI: 1.54\u20135.67), and non-vertex fetal presentation (AOR: 3.05; 95% CI: 1.93\u20135.42).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The current study identified rural residents, no ANC visits, antepartum hemorrhage, premature rupture of membrane, and non-vertex fetal presentation as being significantly associated with neonatal near-miss cases. As a result, local health planners and healthcare practitioners must collaborate in enhancing maternal healthcare services, focusing specifically on the early identification of issues and appropriate treatment.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fped.2024.1326568","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,31]],"date-time":"2024-05-31T04:42:38Z","timestamp":1717130558000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Predictors of neonatal near-misses in Worabe Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Southern Ethiopia"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Shemsu","family":"Yasin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lemesa","family":"Abdisa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hirbo Shore","family":"Roba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abera Kenay","family":"Tura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"286","DOI":"10.1186\/1472-6963-11-286","article-title":"The World Health Organization multicountry survey on maternal and newborn health: study protocol","volume":"11","author":"Souza","year":"2011","journal-title":"BMC Health Serv Res"},{"year":"2016","key":"B2"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"189","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(14)60496-7","article-title":"Every newborn: progress, priorities, and potential beyond survival","volume":"384","author":"Lawn","year":"2014","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"S1","DOI":"10.1038\/jp.2016.27","article-title":"When do newborns die?
