Objectives
To identify the determinants of traditional birth attendants’ utilisation among reproductive-age women in Ethiopia.

Design
Cross-sectional study design.

Setting
Ethiopia.

Participants
A total of 3979 weighted samples of reproductive-age women were included.

Outcome measure
Traditional birth attendant utilisation.

Results
This study found a high prevalence (29.76%) of Ethiopian mothers using traditional birth attendants for delivery, based on data from the 2019 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey. Mothers with higher education (adjusted OR (AOR)=0.11, 95% CI: 0.01 to 0.62), who had four or more antenatal care visits (AOR=0.34, 95% CI: 0.21 to 0.54), communities with lower levels of education (AOR=2.21, 95% CI: 1.30 to 3.73), communities with higher poverty levels (AOR=1.71, 95% CI: 1.99 to 2.96) and those from peripheral regions (AOR=3.41, 95% CI: 1.77 to 6.56) were found to be predictors of traditional birth attendants.

Conclusion
This study indicates a high prevalence (29.76%) of Ethiopian mothers using traditional birth attendants, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to promote skilled birth attendance. Policymakers should focus on implementing educational programmes targeting reproductive-age women and improving access to quality antenatal care. Specific initiatives could include community-based educational workshops and subsidies for transportation to healthcare facilities. Furthermore, mothers in remote and border districts should receive specialised attention in terms of resource allocation, including skilled personnel and enhanced healthcare access.

Background
The main aim of sanitation is to prevent human contact with faecal pathogens to decrease occurrences of diseases. However, no region in the world is on the right track to accomplish Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6.2 for universal access to sanitation. Sub-Saharan Africa, including Ethiopia, is significantly behind in meeting the 2030 SDG 6.2 targets. Hence, this study focused on the spatial and temporal analysis of sanitation in Ethiopia based on four demographic health surveys.

Design
This research was undertaken among households in Ethiopia based on a weighted sample size. Variables with a p

Objectives
Leukaemias and lymphomas are among the most prevalent and significant cancers in Australasia and Oceania. This study aims to examine the burden of leukaemias/lymphomas and its temporal trend in Australasia and Oceania from 2010 to 2019.

Design
Epidemiological study

Methods
Data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2019 were used to examine the burden of leukaemia/lymphoma key subtypes (acute lymphocytic leukaemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL), chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML), Hodgkin-lymphoma (HL) and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL)) by sex and 5 year age groups (from
