Impact of Severe Preeclampsia on the Incidence of Low-Birth-Weight Babies
Infant birth weight is an important indicator of survival, growth potential, and developmental capacity.\r\nMaternal health plays an important role in determining the well-being of newborns. A complicated pregnancy,\r\ninclusive of conditions such as preeclampsia, elevates the risk of giving birth to a low birth weight (LBW)\r\nbaby. This study aimed to compare the impact of severe preeclampsia on the incidence of LBW babies in Dr.\r\nDradjat Prawiranegara General Hospital Serang, Indonesia. This case-control analysis included 148 parturients\r\nrecruited randomly from June to October 2022. Logistic regression was used as the analytical tool, with P=0.000\r\nconsidered as demonstrating a significant association. The incidence rates of LBW and severe preeclampsia\r\nin 2018 were 19.84% and 14.15%, respectively. The case group recorded LBW within the weight range of\r\n1,000-2,450 g, with 38% of them were Small for Gestation Age (SGA), while 50% and 12% were Appropriate\r\nfor Gestational Age (AGA), and Large for Gestational Age (LGA), respectively. In contrast, the control group,\r\nwith birth weights ranging from 2,600-4,500 g, 13.50% were SGA, while 77% and 9.50% were AGA and LGA,\r\nrespectively. Parity was a confounding factor influencing the incidence of LBW, while maternal age did not\r\npresent a significant correlation. Pregnancies with severe preeclampsia were found to have a 29-fold increased\r\nlikelihood of delivering LBW babies compared to the control group when controlling for parity (P=0.000, CI\r\n95%). Hence, women with severe preeclampsia pregnancies have a higher risk for delivering LBW babies of 29\r\ntimes higher than the control.
