ABSTRACT   Low birth weight (LBW) infants with birth weight is less than 2500 grams, regardless of gestational age. Statistically showed 90 % incidence of LBW obtained in developing countries with a mortality rate 35 times higher tinggi.Di South Sumatra Province Infant Mortality Rate ( IMR ) is 29 per 1,000 live births. In Palembang BARI hospitals incidence of LBW in 2013 amounted to 317 cases . The purpose of this study is to determine is there a relationship between the factors of age, education, and parity with the incidence of Low Birth Weight in Palembang BARI hospitals in 2013. This study used survey method crosss sectional analytic approach. The study population was all women who gave birth and was admitted to hospital obstetrics Palembang BARI installations in 2013 amounted to 901. This research was conducted in February 2014. Samples were taken with a random sampling method sistematic. Analyze data using statistical test Chi - Square. Results of univariate analysis of this study showed that 193 (69.4 %) of the respondents had low birth weight, and 85 (30.6 %) respondents had BBLN. 63 (22.7 %) of respondents with a high risk of maternal age and 215 (77.3 %) of respondents with a low risk of maternal age. 157 (56.5 %) respondents with low education mothers and 121 (43.5 %) of respondents with higher education mothers. 48 (17.3 %) respondents with high parity mothers and 230 (82.7 %) respondents with low parity mothers. So the bivariate analysis showed no significant association between maternal age with the incidence of LBW with P value = 0.035, no significant association between education and the incidence of LBW with P value = 0.006, and no significant relationship between the incidence of low birth weight with parity P value = 0.041. It is recommended for health care workers (midwives) hospital in order to be used as material information regarding the occurrence of LBW and as an input as well as the evaluation of success in good health or when needed to do counseling and care of LBW, especially to mothers who give birth to low birth weight baby.   ABSTRAK Berat badan lahir rendah (BBLR) adalah bayi dengan berat lahir kurang dari 2500 gram tanpa memandang masa gestasi.

Research: Pre-eclampsia is a disease with signs of hypertension, edema, and proteinuria arising from pregnancy. This disease generally occurs in the third trimester of pregnancy, but can occur earlier, for example in hydatidiform mole (Wiknjosastro, 2005: 282). Preeclampsia and Eclampsia are one of the main causes of maternal mortality in Indonesia. The incidence of preeclampsia ranges from 5-15% of all pregnancies in the world. Based on the 2003 Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS), the incidence of preeclampsia in Indonesia is estimated at 3.4–8.5%. The research method used analytical observational method through a case control approach, which is an analytical study concerning how risk factors are studied using a retrospective approach. In other words, the effect is identified now, then the risk factor is identified as having existed or occurred in the past. Research Results The results of the significance test using the Chi-Square test showed a significant relationship to the occurrence of low birth weight (LBW) in mothers with preeclampsia. This is indicated by the value of p = 0.000 which is smaller than α = 0.05, so Ho is rejected. While the results of the calculation of the Odds Ratio show that preeclampsia is one of the causes of LBW, this is indicated by the OR value of 3.028. Conclusion: There is a relationship between preeclampsia and low birth weight in dr. Soedarso Pontianak in 2018 with a probability value (ρ) = 0.000.

BackgroundA higher risk of suicide has been associated with low birth weight in one study, but not yet replicated. Higher birth order has been associated with self-harm, but not with suicide.AimsTo examine the relationship between perinatal circumstances and subsequent young adult suicide in Scotland.MethodUsing linked data from the Scottish Morbidity Record and Scottish death records, a birth cohort of 1 061 830 people was followed-up for a mean of 25.1 years. Data were analysed using Cox regression.ResultsHigher maternal parity, younger maternal age (<25 years), non-professional parental occupations and low birth weight (<2500 g) were independently associated with higher suicide risk of offspring as young adults. There was no independent association with gestational age.ConclusionsOur findings provide support for the influence of maternal circumstance and foetal experience on subsequent mental health.

Hyperbilirubinemia is a problem that often occurs in newborns characterized by icterus, yellowish pigmentation of the skin, sclera, and nails. Many factors cause hyperbilirubinemia in infants such as the type of labor, birth weight, gestational age, gender, and asphyxia.This research aimed to discover the factors associated with the occurrence of hyperbilirubinemia in infants.This was a quantitative research with a retrospective cohort design. There were 83 respondents as the research sample taken using a random sampling technique. The research data were analyzed using the chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression. The majority of respondents underwent labor with actions (59 respondents / 71.1%), delivered male babies (51 respondents / 61.4%), delivered babies with normal birth weight (56 respondents / 67.5%), had a full-term pregnancy (54 respondents / 65.1%), and did not experience asphyxia (65 respondents / 78.3%). In addition, most respondents gave birth to babies with hyperbilirubinemia (43 respondents / 51.8%). Chi-square test results indicated a correlation between the type of labor (p = 0.008), birth weight (p = 0.019), gestational age (p = 0.000), and asphyxia (p = 0.013) with the incidence of hyperbilirubinemia. While the variable of gender (p = 0.106) had no correlation. The most influential factor was gestational age (p = 0.027) with an odds ratio of 4.011. In conclusion: The types of labor, birth weight, gestational age, and asphyxia have a correlation with the occurrence of hyperbilirubinemia.
