Table 5. Adjusted odds ratios (AOR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the associations between Adequacy of Prenatal Care Utilization index categories and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission and perinatal mortality among singleton newborns for women eligible for the old and new antenatal care (ANC) programmes, separately.
| Old ANC programme | New ANC programme | |
|---|---|---|
| NICU admission | AOR (95% CI) | AOR (95% CI) |
| Intensive | 1.17 (1.09–1.25) | 1.14 (1.07–1.22) |
| Adequate (reference) | 1.0 | 1.0 |
| Intermediate | 1.07 (0.95–1.20) | 0.82 (0.74–0.90) |
| Inadequate | 1.14 (1.04–1.25) | 1.10 (1.01–1.20) |
| Perinatal mortality | ||
| Intensive | 0.90 (0.77–1.06) | 0.91 (0.76–1.09) |
| Adequate (reference) | 1.0 | 1.0 |
| Intermediate | 0.63 (0.45–0.88) | 0.48 (0.36–0.65) |
| Inadequate | 1.27 (1.04–1.54) | 1.06 (0.86–1.31) |
