Background.
Giving childbirth is a natural reward for human beings to replace themselves to exist in the world.
Despite all the efforts made to improve maternal health, maternal morbidity and mortality continue during childbirth.
Hence, this study aimed to determine the proportion of maternal birth outcomes and identify their predictors among mothers who gave birth in hospitals.
Method.
A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted from April 9 to June 7, 2016, among 384 postnatal mothers in Debre Tabor Hospital.
Randomly selected mothers were interviewed by trained data collectors.
Data were checked for completeness, entered using Epi Info version 7, and analyzed using STATA 14 software.
A multivariate logistic regression model was used to control confounders and identify predictors of maternal birth outcomes.
Statistical significance was declared by adjusted odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval and a p value ≤0.05.
Result.
About 77% (95% CI: 72.9, 81.3) of the mothers had good maternal birth outcomes.
Antenatal care utilization (AOR: 2.60; 95% CI: 1.16, 5.83); BPCR practice (AOR: 2.10; 95% CI: 1.12, 3.96); self-preference of health institution (AOR: 2.34; 95% CI: 1.11, 4.50); and mode of delivery: caesarean (AOR: 0.46; 95% CI: 0.23, 0.87), assisted breech (AOR: 0.17; 95% CI: 0.04, 0.69), and instrumental (AOR: 0.27; 95% CI: 0.09, 0.79) were associated with good maternal birth outcome.
Conclusion.
In this study, the maternal birth outcome among postnatal mothers was good in more than three-fourth of the cases.
Hence, encouraging mothers to utilize health-care services and counseling and supporting them on BPCR practice are recommended.
