After adjusting for other factors, pregnant women who had primary school education or none were more likely to book late
compared to those who had secondary school education and above (OR = 2.6, 95% CI, 1.28 - 5.38). Those women who were
aged less than 25 years were more likely to register late compared to those who were older (OR = 8.3, 95% CI, 1.10 - 62.65)
(Table 3).
