<![CDATA[Maternal and infant mortality are closely related, as the fetus receives nutrition from the mother through the placenta. Therefore, the mother's health condition during pregnancy directly impacts fetal development. Additionally, the mother's role in caring for the infant significantly affects the child's growth and survival. One of the goals of the Lampung Provincial Health Office’s Regional Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMD) for 2020–2024 is to reduce maternal and infant mortality. The expected health target by the end of 2024 is to lower maternal deaths to 110 cases and infant deaths to 520 cases. This study employs the Bivariate Generalized Poisson Regression (BGPR) method to identify factors influencing maternal and infant mortality in Lampung Province in 2022. BGPR is suitable for handling overdispersed count data with two correlated response variables. Based on the AICc criterion, the best model includes all prediktor variables. The results show that the percentage of deliveries assisted by health professionals (X1) significantly affects maternal mortality, while both the percentage of deliveries by health professionals (X1) and the percentage of fourth antenatal care visits (K4) (X3) significantly affect infant mortality.]]>
