aFor 6-weeks PNC visit we considered women who registered live birth, minus infant or maternal death prior to 6 weeks (N = 511)

Only women who attended PNC in the 6 weeks window (5-8weeks) were considered to have attended 6 week PNC visit (401)

In the multivariate analyses we adjusted for age and other variables with P < 0.2 in bivariate analyses
