Abstract

Background: Antenatal care (ANC) is an important component of maternal and child health care. To reduce perinatal mortality and improve women’s experience of care, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends pregnant women should attend at least eight ANC visits. However, in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), the mean number of ANC visits among reproductive-age women using Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) data following the new WHO recommendation is so far limited. Therefore, the study aimed to determine the mean number of ANC visits and its predictors among reproductive-age women in SSA. Method: Community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 188,880 weighted reproductive-age women in SSA using a recent round of DHS data from 2017–2023. Zero-inflated negative binomial regression (ZINB) was conducted and statistical significance was declared at p-value
