    Background: DDI for ECS is a matter of quality obstetrics care service. Unnecessary delays may end up in morbidity or mortality of the mother and/or the fetus. Therefore, the delivery interval must be within a reasonable time and the recommended one is within 30 minutes. The study area lacks information. Objective: Determine DDI and associated factors among mothers who underwent emergency cesarean section in the chosen governmental institutions of Addis Ababa City, Ethiopia, 2023. Method: A cross-sectional study was carried out in governmental hospitals of Addis Ababa city with total sample size of 348. Each respondent was recruited by means of probability sampling technique. The information was gathered based on the pilot study of interviewer-administered tool and document review after written consent secured from every respondent. The gathered information’s were coded and entered in Epi-data version 4.6.0.6 and analyzed using SPSS version 26. The binary logistic regression method was employed to detect risk factors related to crash c/s. Statistically, significance was determined by a P-value of less ≤ 0.05. Result: The total magnitude of DDI that was done within the recommended period was 23% [ 95% CI (18.9-27.6] and the Median time was 45(7-155) min. Fetal distress was the most common indication for ECS. The following factors were significantly linked to the decision-to- delivery interval: surgeon status [25.019;95% CI (10.602,59.037], indications other than fetal distress [AOR = 2.775; 95% CI (1.395,5.518], type of anesthesia [AOR=13.597;95% CI (4.969,37.209]. Conclusion: The study finding indicates that the magnitude of the crash c/s for ECS according to the international recommended time interval was very low. Therefore, hospitals and obstetric care providers should be alert and conscious of immediate life-threatening conditions
