Following the model identification procedure outlined above, we did not include the variable under the determinant category of need factors; hence, the regression results table does not show ‘need factor’ category of determinants. Odds ratios, CI (confidence interval) and P-values obtained from a multivariate logistic regression model are adjusted for clustering of pregnancy outcomes within health centre catchment areas.
