A multivariate logistic regression model was used to determine the effects of fertility behaviors and healthcare usage on the occurrence of U5M adjusting with confounders. Results: U5M declined from 82.5 to 41.0 per 1000 livebirths during 1994–2014 and is projected to further reduce to 17.6 per 1000 livebirths by 2030. The study identified a noticeable regional variation in U5M with maternal high-risk fertility behaviours including age at birth <18 years (aOR: 1.84, 95% CI: 1.23–2.76) and birth interval <24 months (aOR: 1.56, 95% CI: 1.02–2.37) found to be significant determinants. There was a 39–53% decline in this rate of mortality among women that had used antenatal care services at least four times (aOR, 0.51, 95% CI: 0.27–0.97), delivery care (aOR, 0.47, 95% CI: 0.24–0.95), and had received postnatal care (aOR, 0.61, 95% CI: 0.41–0.91) in their last birth. Cesarean section was found to be associated with a 51% reduction in U5M (aOR, 0.49, 95% CI: 0.29–0.82) compared to its non-use. Conclusion: The Sustainable Development Goals require a U5M rate of 25 per 1000 livebirths to be achieved by 2030. This study suggests that with the current trend of reduction, Bangladesh will achieve this target before the deadline. This study also found that maternal high-risk fertility behaviours and non-use of maternal healthcare services are very prevalent in some regions of Bangladesh and have increased the occurrence of U5M in those areas. This suggests therefore, that policies and programmes designed to reduce the pregnancy rates of women that are at risk and to encourage an increase in the use of maternal healthcare services are needed.]]> Wed 26 Oct 2022 12:45:21 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32834 Wed 19 Jan 2022 15:17:36 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49110 Wed 13 Mar 2024 07:53:13 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30013 Wed 10 Nov 2021 15:05:21 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53982 Thu 25 Jan 2024 12:57:08 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38514 Thu 14 Oct 2021 10:13:52 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38512 Thu 14 Oct 2021 09:46:08 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30664 Thu 02 May 2019 11:11:55 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36972 Fri 21 Oct 2022 14:58:01 AEDT ]]>
