Neonatal mortality is a global public health problem disproportionally high in developing country including Ethiopia. Hypothermia plays a significant role in neonatal mortality. This study was conducted to identify determinants of neonatal hypothermia among neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of public hospitals. Institutional based unmatched case-control study was conducted in Bahir Dar town public hospitals among neonates admitted in the NICUs in 2019. A total of 387 participants were included in the study. Pretested, structured questionnaire, and data extraction checklist were used to collect results. Data analysis was done by using Stata version 14 . Low birth weight (adjusted odd ratio (AOR)=3.01, 95%CI: 1.50–5.58), nighttime delivery (AOR = 1.90, 95%CI: 1.13–3.13), lack skin to skin contact (AOR = 2.43, 95%CI: 1.42–4.16), delayed initiation of breast feeding (AOR = 2.24, 95%CI: 1.30–3.88), not wearing cape (AOR = 1.87, 95%CI: 1.07–3.26), and low Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, Respiration (APGAR) score (AOR = 2.17, 95%CI: 1.15–4.10) were determinant variables of the neonatal hypothermia. Skin to skin contact, initiation of breast feeding, birth weight, time, low APGAR score, and not wearing cape were identified as independent determinates of neonatal hypothermia.
