Abstract

Background: LBW and asphyxia are the two main causes of neonatal death in Indonesia. Babies of preeclampsia mothers are at risk of developing LBW due to impaired blood flow to the placenta which increases the risk of asphyxia. This study aims to analyze the relationship between LBW and asphyxia in infants from preeclampsia mothers. Method: Observational research with a retrospective approach with a population of 473 babies born at Islamic Hospital in Malang Indonesia. Samples were taken using purposive sampling techniques with a total sample of 49 babies from preeclampsia mothers. Data were obtained from medical records with instruments in the form of checklist sheets or observation sheets and analyzed using the Spearman test with an alpha of 0.05. Results: The majority of babies had normal birth weight, and some experienced LBW as many as 16 babies (32.7%) and VLBW 2 babies (4.1%). Most of the infants experienced mild asphyxia in 42 infants (85.7%), with a small percentage experiencing moderate to severe asphyxia. The results of the Spearman test showed a significant relationship between LBW and asphyxia (p = 0.002; r = 0.433) with moderate relationship strength and positive relationship direction. Conclusion: These findings indicate that the lower the baby's birth weight, the higher the risk of asphyxia, especially in mothers with preeclampsia. It is recommended to healthcare workers to carry out early detection and monitoring of high-risk pregnancies to prevent neonatal complications such as LBW and asphyxia.
