‡ Wald Test was significant at p < 0.05 in case of mortality during neonatal period.

a 291 groups (or 5120 observations) were dropped because of all positive or all negative outcomes.

b 288 groups (or 6424 observations) were dropped because of all positive or all negative outcomes.

c 281 groups (or 7231 observations) were dropped because of all positive or all negative outcomes.

Matching variables: Birth order of the newborn and the age of mother at the birth of the index newborn.

Control variables: Mother’s education, wealth status, place of residence, region of residence, place of delivery of the index newborn, maternal complication at the time of delivery, mode of delivery, initiation of breastfeeding, and sex of the newborn.
