| Number of ANC visits | 1 | 1 | |
| 2+ | 1.3 (0.9–1.8) | 0.16 | |
| Maternal Hb below 10 g/dL | No | 1 | |
| Yes | 0.7 (0.4–0.9) | 0.04* | |
| Attendance by midwife or TBA | Midwife | 1 | |

ANC = antenatal clinic, Hb = haemoglobin; TBA = trained birth attendant. * p-values <0.05 were considered significant.
