Background: Globally 5.9 million child deaths occurred
in 2015, in which 2.7 million were neonatal deaths (WHO,
2015). So frequency of Antenatal care visits and timing of
first ANC visit is important to offer information and advice
to women about pregnancy related complications and to
reduce neonatal deaths in India.
Objective: We analyse the association between frequency
of antenatal visits and neonatal mortality and also examine
relationship between timing of first antenatal visit and
neonatal mortality in India.
Data: This study included 184,627 last births in preceding
five years from fourth National family Health Survey 2015-
16. We estimate crude and adjusted odds ratios and their
95% CIs for association between frequency of ANC visits and
neonatal mortality.
Results: The result shows that pregnant women who
had more ANC visits experienced a lower risk of neonatal
mortality and more benefit in 10 or more ANC visits
significantly, the adjusted ORs against 0 visit group, was 0.47
(95% CI 0.28-083) and proportion of neonatal mortality in
10 or more visit group women is lowest 8/1000 live births.
We also found that pregnant women who had first ANC visit
in first trimester were experienced a lower risk of neonatal
mortality.
Conclusion: Strategies like extensive health promotion
through healthcare persons and increasing level of education
in women will have effect on ANC visits and MCH services in
India.
