Background  Perinatal asphyxia is one of the leading causes of neonatal mortality and morbidity in Ethiopia. Understanding associated factors of perinatal asphyxia are important to identify vulnerable groups and to improve care during the perinatal period. Thus, this study aimed to assess the prevalence and associated factors of perinatal asphyxia among newborns admitted to NICU at the Gondar University Comprehensive Specialized Hospital Northwest Ethiopia, Ethiopia.    Method  Institutional based cross-sectional study was conducted on 364 newborns from November 2018 - August 2019. Data was collected using a structured and pre-tested questionnaire. It was then cleaned, coded, and entered using EPI INFO version 7, then analyzed with SPSS statistics version 20.0. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify variables with p < 0.2. An adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with a 95% CI and  P- value of <0.05 was used to identify significantly associated variables with perinatal asphyxia.    Result  The prevalence of perinatal asphyxia in this study was 19.8, 95%CI (15.9, 24.2). Absence of maternal formal education (AOR = 4.09, 95%CI: 1.25, 13.38), pregnancy-induced hypertension (AOR = 4.07, 95%CI: 1.76, 9.40), antepartum hemorrhage (AOR = 6.35, 95%CI: 1.68, 23.97), prolonged duration of labor (AOR = 3.69, 95%CI: 1.68, 8.10), instrumental delivery (AOR = 3.17, 95%CI: 1.22, 8.21), and meconium-stained amniotic fluid (AOR = 4.50, 95%CI: 2.19, 9.26) were significantly associated with perinatal asphyxia.    Conclusion  The prevalence rate of perinatal asphyxia in this study was comparable to other resource poor countries. The absence of maternal formal education, pregnancy-induced hypertension, and Antepartum hemorrhage, prolonged duration of labor, Instrumental assisted delivery, and meconium-stained amniotic fluid was having significant association with perinatal asphyxia in this study.
