Although it causes a greater burden on pregnant women and their infants, the case in Ethiopia is overlooked, and there is a scarcity of data on <i>L. monocytogenes,</i> particularly in the southern parts of Ethiopia. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the prevalence and, antibiotics susceptibility of <i>L. monocytogenes</i> and its associated risk factors among pregnant women attending the Millennium Health Center, Hawassa, Ethiopia. <i>Method</i>: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 203 pregnant women between May 30 and July 30, 2022. Socio-demographic data and 5 ml venous blood samples were collected from pregnant women using structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25. Bivariate logistic regression was carried out then variables with <i>p</i><0.25 were further analyzed by multivariate logistic regressions, <i>p</i>-values <0.05 were accepted as statistically significant. <i>Results</i>: The overall prevalence of <i>L. monocytogenes</i> among pregnant women was found to be 11/203 (5.42%; 95% CI=2.88-9.38). <i>L. monocytogenes</i> was resistant to benzyl penicillin (90.91%) and meropenem (81.82%), but susceptible to ampicillin (90.91%). Raw meat (AOR=6.99; 95% CI=1.39-35.14), <i>p</i>=0.018), uncooked vegetables (AOR=6.62; 95% CI=1.04-42.30), <i>p</i>=0.046), unpasteurized milk (AOR=7.56; 95% CI=1.33-42.97), <i>p</i>=0.023) and fever (AOR=14.65; 95% CI=3.15-68.15), <i>p</i>=0.001) were significantly associated with <i>L. monocytogenes</i> infection. <i>Conclusion</i>: <i>L. monocytogenes</i> was resistant to benzyl penicillin, meropenem, erythromycin, and sulfamethoxazole but susceptible to ampicillin. Raw meat, uncooked vegetables, unpasteurized milk, and fever were significantly associated with <i>L. monocytogenes</i>.","PeriodicalId":502536,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Gynecology and Obstetrics","volume":"5 2‐3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140694118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Utilizing this technique, the hazard model is estimated and the number of cut-point locations is found. Using various covariates, such as sociodemographic, biological, and proximate co-factors, this piecewise hazard model is fitted to the Infant Mortality Data of Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey 2014. Finding the change point and the impact of covariates on the hazard rate is done using the maximum likelihood estimation process. The parameter's significance is subsequently supported by the Wald test statistic. It turns out that the mother's educational status, religion, mother's age in years, the number of children they have ever had, currently breastfeeding, the size of the child, desire for more children, cesarean delivery, ANC visits, and birth orders are all significant factors. It is also discovered that the detected change point of the hazard rate is extremely important for the child until they reach the age of five. Through the various time cut points, it is found that a piecewise linear multiple change-point model is very important for under-five child mortality. Public health specialists, researchers, and clinicians can all benefit from this piecewise hazard model. One of the most crucial elements in lowering child mortality is time.","PeriodicalId":502536,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Gynecology and Obstetrics","volume":"23 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140753954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
