This study aims to analyze the risk factors for LBW events at Bahteramas General Hospital in Southeast Sulawesi in 2020. This type of research is an analytic descriptive study with a case-control design. This research was conducted at Bahteramas General Hospital in Southeast Sulawesi in 2020. This research was conducted to collect secondary data, namely patient medical records.

Data were analyzed using the Odds Ratio test. The results of this study showed that maternal age was a risk factor for LBW with OR = 3,16 (1,57-6,90; 95%), maternal parity was a risk factor with OR = 2,07 (1,00-4,25; 95%), and petting is also a risk factor for LBW with OR = 5,03 (1,05-24,24; 95%).
