Therefore, the objective of our study is to assess the proportion of the utilisation of postnatal care among women in Nepal.
We can define the relative utilisation of fat and protein by a ratio (Rfat; the proportion of total energy utilisation that comes from fat): (22) R fat = E fat / (E fat + E prot ).
To derive threshold distances for estimating utilisation, the proportion of clients using retail outlets for a fever in a particular locality was derived from a previous household survey [17].
To understand service utilisation, the proportion of referrals to specialist palliative care services from each SEIFA tertile and the clinical status (phase) at the start of palliative care episodes are compared.
The proportion of users and the mean frequency of utilisation for each healthcare service are given in the Additional file 1: Table S1.
Technical efficiency uses proxy measures to assess the proportion of outputs produced (e.g. hospital bed utilisation) related to the resources available (i.e. hospital bed availability).
The utilisation rate was derived using the proportion of journeys made to access health services.
The partnership size and the proportion of single handed practices were not associated with hospital utilisation or teenage conceptions.
In Figure 5, the net annual change in utilisation (the net change in the proportion of available funds timely spent between two years) from 2010 to 2012, is shown.
Consequently, the safe motherhood programme aims to increase the proportion of facility delivery by identifying and overcoming barriers in the utilisation of delivery service by pregnant women.
The marginal increase in some regions might be due to high initial utilisation, close to the level at which the proportion of second-eye surgery settles (36%).
