Short birth interval, associated factors and adverse pregnancy outcomes among women who gave birth in Chiro town public health institution, West Hararghe zone, Oromia region, Ethiopia

Abstract

Short birth interval is defined as the time less than 33 months between previous and current births. Currently short birth interval is becoming a serious problem of low and middle-income countries. However, there is paucity of evidence on magnitude, associated factors and its adverse pregnancy outcomes in Ethiopia, particularly in study setting.
