Compliance with the 2016 WHO's antenatal care recommendation and its determinants among women in Sub-Saharan Africa: a multilevel-analysis of population survey data.
Background: Despite the positive impact of adhering to the new antenatal care model on pregnancy outcomes and maternal health service uptake, women in resource-limited settings exhibit low levels of compliance with this recommendation. Previous studies on women's adherence to the new antenatal care recommendation have been limited to individual countries, with no evidence available at Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) level. Therefore, this study sought to investigate compliance with the 2016 WHO's recommendation of at least eight antenatal care contacts among women in SSA countries and identify its determinants.
Methods: The study utilized a weighted sample of 101,983 women who had received antenatal care during their index pregnancy, drawn from recent DHS data of sixteen SSA countries. A multilevel mixed-effect analysis was conducted to identify factors that influence compliance with new antenatal care recommendations. Model comparison was performed using deviance and log-likelihood values, and statistical significance was determined at a P-value of less than 0.05.
Results: The level of compliance with the recommended antenatal care contacts among women in SSA was 9.9% (95% CI: 9.7-10.1%), with the highest rate in Sierra Leone (26.1%) and lowest in Rwanda (< 1%). A multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that age, education, employment status, household wealth, healthcare decisions, the timing of antenatal contacts, consumption of nutritional supplements, residence, community-level women illiteracy, and media exposure were the significant determinants of compliance.
Conclusion: Only one in ten pregnant women in SSA countries had attended the recommended number of antenatal contacts, with Sierra Leone having the highest compliance rate and Rwanda and Senegal having the lowest. Therefore, policymakers should focus on improving access to education, especially for women and their partners, and providing exempted services for pregnant women from low-income households. Interventions that target communities with low levels of literacy and media exposure could also be effective in improving the uptake of the services.
