Living in rural setting (AOR=3.37, 95% CI:1.68,6.77); maternal age 20-34 years (AOR= 3.98, 95% CI:1.64,9.67); mothers referred from other institutions (AOR= 2.23, 95%,CI: 1.37,3.65); multi gravid (AOR= 4.99, 95%CI: 2.75, 9.13); grand multi gravid (AOR= 21.03, 95%CI: 9.30,47.50 ), have no history of ANC follow up (AOR=3.19,95%CI:1.79,5.65) and operation done with general anesthesia (AOR=2.811,95%CI:1.73,4.57) were found to be significantly associated with maternal complication.
