Change in coverage measured as percentage point difference. Female sex inequality measured via male:female ratio for completion of secondary school education. Model coefficients can be interpreted per 1 unit change in the covariate with change in the outcome—eg, 1% increase in NHIF coverage of the population is associated with 0·6% point increase in the change in SBA between 2003 and 2014, after adjusting for covariates and baseline SBA. Or, for every additional physician per 10 000 population, the absolute change in SBA coverage between 2003 and 2014 increases by 0·3 percentage points, after adjusting for covariates and baseline SBA. There was no statistically significant collinearity (variance inflation factors <3) between covariates. Variables were retained if p<0·15. SBA=skilled birth assistance. NHIF=National Health Insurance Fund. ANC4+=four or more antenatal care visits.
