Background.
Birth weight has a vital role in determining newborns survival in vulnerable conditions.
Low birth weight is associated with fetal and neonatal morbidity and mortality, impairment of growth and development and also chronic disease later in life.
This study was aimed to assess the magnitude of low birth weight and its determinants in Wolaita Sodo University teaching and referral hospital, southern Ethiopia.
Methods.
Institution based cross-sectional study was conducted from November to December 2018.
Systematic random sampling technique was used to select study participants.
Data was collected by interviewing mothers through structured questionnaire and reviewing neonates' medical records using a checklist.
Multivariable binary logistic regression analyses were employed to identify factors associated with neonatal jaundice.
Results.
The proportion of low birth weight in the study area was found to be 15.8% (95% CI 11.7-19.9).
Being primiparity [AOR=5.798; 95% (1.572-21.377)], anemia during pregnancy [AOR=3.808; 95% (1.513-9.586)], pregnancy induced hypertension [AOR= 6.955; 95% (2.386- 20.275)], intake herbal medication during pregnancy [AOR=35.762; 95% (4.571-279.764)], drinking alcohol during pregnancy [AOR=8.111; 95% (2.359-27.
895)] were predictors of low birth weight.
Conclusion.
The proportion of low birth weight among newborns delivered at Wolaita Sodo University teaching and referral hospital was comparable with the global prevalence of low birth weight.
Parity, anemia, alcohol, herbal medication, and pregnancy-induced hypertension were significantly associated with low birth weight.
