Abstract

ABSTRACT Preeclampsia is defined as the development of hypertension and proteinuria after 20 weeks of pregnancy. This research aims to determine the relationship between preeclampsia and LBW in Anutapura Hospital Palu. This research is a case-control research. The population was 186 infants and 93 infants LBW as samples, matching at 37, 38, 39, and 40 weeks gestation. The results showed that preeclampsia mothers gave birth to 16 LBW babies (64%) and 9 non LBW babies (36%). While non preeclampsia mothers gave birth to  77 LBW babies (47.8%) and 84 non LBW babies (52.2%). The mean BBL in preeclampsia mothers was 2232,00gr, whereas for non preeclampsia mothers was 2363,04gr. Based on the results of the chi-square test p-value = 0.197 (0.197> 0.05). As conclusion, despite the prevalence of high LBW in preeclampsia mothers, there is no significant effect between preeclampsia and LBW babies. It is recommended that further analysis of other maternal factors be carried out for the incidence of LBW in Anutapura Hospital Palu.Keywords: Preeclampsia and Low Birth Weight
