Abstract

BACKGROUND: A birth interval of less than 33 months was considered short, and in low- income countries like Ethiopia, a short birth interval is the primary cause of approximately 822 maternal deaths every day. Due to that this study aimed to predict short birth interval and associated factors among women (15-49) in Ethiopia using ensemble learning algorithms.
