Preterm deliveries were responsible for 3.1 million neonatal deaths that occurred globally in 2010, of them 35% were directly related to preterm. This study was aimed to assess the determinants of preterm birth among women delivered of Central zone. A facility-based cross-sectional study was carried out from March to May 2018, in four randomly selected hospitals of Central zone. A total of 413 participants were interviewed using a pre-tested structured questionnaire. Data were entered into Epi-info Version 3.5.3 and then exported to SPSS Version 21 for analysis. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was carried out to assess the association. Statistical significance was declared by 95% confidence interval of the odds ratio.
From the total (413) participants, 78.7% of participants were in the age group of 20-34 years and in this study the prevalence of preterm birth was 12.8%. Factors like, marital status of unmarried (AOR = 5.21, 95% CI 1.8-15.075), mid upper arm circumference (MUAC) (< 11 cm) (AOR = 2.42, 95% CI 1.204-4.851) were independent predictors of preterm birth among women delivered in the study area.
2010年全球有310万例新生儿死亡由早产所致，其中35%与早产直接相关。本研究旨在评估中部地区分娩妇女早产的决定因素。2018年3月至5月，在中部地区随机选取的四家医院开展了一项基于机构的横断面研究。使用预先测试的结构化问卷对413名参与者进行了访谈。数据录入Epi-info 3.5.3版本，然后导出到SPSS 21版本进行分析。采用双变量和多变量逻辑回归分析来评估相关性。通过优势比的95%置信区间判断统计学显著性。
在总共413名参与者中，78.7%的参与者年龄在20 - 34岁之间，本研究中早产患病率为12.8%。未婚婚姻状况（优势比=5.21，95%置信区间1.8 - 15.075）、上臂中部周长（MUAC）（<11厘米）（优势比=2.42，95%置信区间1.204 - 4.851）等因素是研究地区分娩妇女早产的独立预测因素。
