    Prenatal visits in Burundi remain a hot topic at both the national and provincial levels. The issue prompted us to conduct a bivariate and multivariate study to identify the determinants of incompleteness of prenatal visits among women in Bujumbura town hall, namely: desire for pregnancy, household standard of living, and parity. Our objective was to understand the influence of socioeconomic, sociocultural, sociodemographic, and geographic factors on the completeness of prenatal visits. The study was conducted in Bujumbura town hall using secondary data from the EDSB-III (2016-2017). The results found by the bivariate analysis showed that the desire for pregnancy, household standard of living, and parity are the factors that determine the incompleteness of prenatal visits among women in Bujumbura town hall. Similarly, through multivariate analysis, we found that the desire for pregnancy is the most determining variable for the incompleteness of prenatal visits in Bujumbura town hall. Women who do not want pregnancy run more than 1.72 times the risk of incomplete prenatal visits than women who want pregnancy. Taking these results into account will help reduce unwanted pregnancies, reduce the number of children per woman and increase the standard of living of households in order to increase the completeness of prenatal visits in Bujumbura town hall.
