Abstract

Background: The global burden of febrile illness and the contribution of many fever inducing pathogens have been difficult to quantify and characterize. However, in sub-Saharan Africa it is clear that febrile illness is a common cause of hospital admission, illness and death including in Ethiopia. Therefore the major aim of this study is to explore the spatial variation and associated factors of childhood febrile illness among under-five children in Ethiopia. Methods: This study were based on the 2016 Ethiopian Demographic health survey data. A total weighted sample of 10,127 under- five children was included. Data management was done using Stata version-14, Arc-GIS version—10.8 and SatsScan version- 9.6 statistical software. Multi-level log binomial model was fitted to identify factors associated with childhood febrile illness. Variables with a p-value
