Published: Jan. 18, 2023

Abstract Background Completing maternity continuum of care from pregnancy to postpartum is a core strategy reduce the burden maternal and neonatal mortality dominant in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Nigeria. Thus, we evaluated level completion, dropout predictors women uptake optimal antenatal (ANC) pregnancy, continuation use skilled birth attendants (SBA) at childbirth postnatal (PNC) utilization Methods A cross-sectional analysis nationally representative 21,447 pregnancies that resulted births within five years preceding 2018 Nigerian Demographic Health Survey. Maternity model pathway based on WHO recommendation was outcome measure while explanatory variables were classified as; socio-demographic, characteristics, quality, economic autonomous factors. Descriptive statistics describes factors, backward stepwise regression initially assessed association ( p < 0.10), multivariable binary logistic complementary-log–log quantifies 95% confidence interval (α = 0.05). Results Coverage decrease 75.1% (turn-up ANC) 56.7% (optimal 37.4% ANC SBA) only 6.5% completed essential care. Dropout however increase 17.5% 20.2% SBA 30.9% PNC. Continuation completion are positively drive by women; with least primary education (AOR 1.27, 95%CI 1.01–1.62), average wealth index 1.83, 1.48 –2.25), southern geopolitical zone 1.61, 1.29–2.01), making health decision alone 1.39, 1.16–1.66), having nurse as provider 3.53, 2.01–6.17) taking two dose tetanus toxoid vaccine 1.25, 1.06–1.62) rural residence 0.78, 0.68–0.90) initiation late third trimester 0.44, 0.34–0.58) negatively influenced completion. Conclusions coverage very low far below recommended Women more than delivery antenatal. Education, wealth, power vaccination drives Strategies optimizing these factors packages will be supreme strengthen maternal, newborn child health.
