Each predictor’s coefficients and risk scores in the model for predicting neonatal mortality among near-miss neonates in public hospitals of Amhara regional state, Ethiopia, 2021 (n = 365).

Predictors	Multivariable analysis			Simplified risk score
	AOR (95% CI)	P-value	ß (95% CI)
Anemia during pregnancy (yes)	4.06 (1.29–12.75)	0.016	1.402 (0.258–2.545)	2
Pregnancy-induced hypertension (yes)	2.10 (1.04–4.24)	0.038	0.712 (0.042–1.445)	1
Pregnancy malaria prevention counseling (no)	0.60 (0.32–1.12)	0.108*	0.510 (−0.112-1.133)
Gestational age (GA)<37 weeks	2.76 (1.33–5.76)	<0.01	1.017 (0.282–1.751)	1.5
Birth asphyxia (yes)	5.07 (1.04–10.69)	<0.01	1.623 (0.876–1.751)	2.5
5 minutes Apgar score (<7)	2.44 (1.30–4.61)	<0.01	0.886 (0.241–1.530)	1.5
Birth weight (BW)<2500)	2.66 (1.24–5.68)	<0.01	0.977 (0.216–1.737)	1.5

ß-coefficients. *Variable not significant in the multivariable analysis. Simplified risk score: the coefficients of predictors included in the final model divided by the smallest (0.712). Pregnancy-Induced Hypertension (PIH): new onset of hypertension that arose after 20 weeks of pregnancy and elevated blood pressure (systolic ≥140 or diastolic ≥90mmHg).

Linear predictors for estimated risk of neonatal mortality = 1/(1+exp–(−3.36+1.402*anemia (<11)+0.712*PIH+1.017*GA(<37)+1.623*birth–asphyxia+0.977*BW(<2500)+0.886*5^th minute Apgar score (<7)).
