description <h4>Background</h4>In order to minimize the maternal and child mortality rate, the presence of skilled birth attendants (SBA) during delivery is essential. By 2022, 4th health, population and nutrition sector programme in Bangladesh aims to increase the percentage of deliveries performed by SBA to 65 percent. The objective of the present study was to determine the rate and associated factors of usage SBA among Bangladeshi mothers during their delivery.<h4>Methods</h4>This study utilized secondary data that was collected by Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS) 2017-18. The usage of SBA was measured by a question to respondent, who assisted during your delivery? It was classified into two classes; (i) skilled birth attendant (qualified doctors, nurses, midwives, or paramedics; family welfare visitors, community skilled birth attendants, and sub-assistant community medical officers) (code 1), and (ii) unskilled birth attendant (untrained traditional birth attendants, trained traditional birth attendants, relatives, friends, or others) (code 0). Two logistic regression model was used to determine the associated factors of SBA after removing the cluster effect of the outcome variable.<h4>Results</h4>This study found 53.2% mothers were delivered by SBA in Bangladesh, among them 56.33% and 42.24% mothers were delivered by nurse/midwife/paramedic and doctor respectively. The two level logistic model demonstrated that geographical location (division), type of residence, religion, wealth index, mothers' body mass index, mothers' education level, mothers' occupation, total ever born children, mothers' age at first birth (year), number of ANC visits, husbands' education level and husbands' occupation were significant (p<0.01) predictors of SBA. Mothers' education and wealth index were the most important contributory factors for SBA in Bangladesh.<h4>Conclusions</h4>This study revealed that still 46.8% mothers are delivered by unskilled birth attendant, this might be treated of Bangladesh Government to achieve SDGs indicator 3.1.2 by 2030. Counseling could be integrated during ANC to increase awareness, and should ensure for every Bangladeshi mothers visit ANC service during their pregnancy at least 4 times.
