Declarations
:
: Since data on LBW are routinely reported into DHIMS II as part of the Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response, no formal ethical approval was required for this study. This aligns with the Public Health Act, 2012, of Ghana, which mandates that the Ghana Health Service maintain and update surveillance data for epidemic-prone diseases and public health events. In addition, deidentified secondary data were used for the analysis; however, we obtained administrative permission from the Volta Regional Health Directorate to access the dataset.
