Results of multivariate logistic regression analyses examining the associations between separation, consent for newborn care, and maternal and newborn outcomes (n=1014)
| Outcome | Newborn separated from mother | Newborn separated for more than 10 min | Consent sought for newborn procedures* |
| aOR (95% CI) | aOR (95% CI) | aOR (95% CI) | |
| Satisfaction with newborn care at baseline (ref. not satisfied) | 1.34 (0.75 to 2.41) | 1.36 (0.57 to 3.28) | 2.71 (1.67 to 4.41)*** |
| Attended a postpartum visit, within 10 weeks (ref. no visit) | 1.14 (0.96 to 1.35) | 1.11 (0.86 to 1.43) | 1.27 (1.05 to 1.55)* |
| Exclusively breast feeding at 2–4 weeks† (ref. not exclusively breast fed) | 0.67 (0.41 to 1.09) | 0.56 (0.40 to 0.76)** | 1.06 (0.78 to 1.44)‡ |
| Exclusively breast feeding at 10 weeks§ (ref. not exclusively breast fed) | 0.76 (0.49 to 1.18) | 0.66 (0.39 to 1.10) | 1.33 (1.10 to 1.62)** |
All estimates of ORs (and 95% CIs) were adjusted for age, multiparity, marital status, education, employment, women’s birthplace, facility type, insurance status, health status and clinical quality of care index. Satisfaction with newborn care models also adjusted for maternal complications and newborn complications at baseline. Breastfeeding outcome models also adjusted for breastfeeding care index, newborn complications at baseline, and both newborn and maternal complications after discharge. Postpartum visit models also adjusted for maternal and newborn complications after discharge. Cluster robust SEs were used to account for clustering by facility.
