Knowledge of neonatal danger signs and associated factors among mothers who gave birth during the last two months in Meicha district, Northwest Ethiopia: Comparative cross-sectional study

Abstract

Danger signs in the neonatal period are non specific and could be a manifestation of almost any new born disease. Early recognition of these signs by mothers is a pre-request for increasing neonatal care seeking behavior. But there is a gap in assessing mother抯 knowledge in neonatal danger signs. Because previous few studies undertaken in Ethiopia did not address some factors that affect neonatal mortality in country context.
