The magnitude of operative vaginal delivery in the study area was relatively low. Rural residence, maternal age 25 to 34, primigravida, gestational age ≥42 weeks, and ANC follow-ups <4 times were independent determinants of operative vaginal delivery. Thus, health education programs and other multidisciplinary strategies are required to encourage mothers to have regular ANC follow-ups.
