  1. aCrude ORs were calculated by multilevel logistic regression model after accounted for cluster effect (facility level, country level, data source -WHOGS & WHOMCS)
  2. bAdjusted for maternal characteristics (age, marital status, education, parity, previous CS); neonatal characteristics (birth weight); facility capacity index score and cluster effect (facility level, country level, data source – WHOGS & WHOMCS)
