  1. The higher-level facility includes hospitals and the lower-level facility includes dispensaries and health centers. The best model for predicting preterm birth was chosen using the lowest Akaike’s information criterion (AIC). The full model included variables of maternal blood pressure, anemia, obesity and age, preventive services, newborn sex and gestational week at delivery. At the lower-level facility, the best model adjusted deworming and the gestational week at delivery. At higher-level facilities, the best model adjusted gestational weeks at delivery
