Abstract

Maternal mortality remains a significant public health problem, particularly in urban areas, where various risk factors can increase the likelihood of pregnancy complications. This study aimed to analyze the distribution of pregnant women’s health risks by region in Surakarta City. A quantitative descriptive design was employed using total sampling of secondary data from the Satukan Solo website for the period January 2023 to May 2024, covering 15,687 pregnant women across five sub-districts. The analysis consisted of three stages: calculating the proportion of pregnant women at risk, identifying dominant risk factors, and comparing the distribution of risk factors among sub-districts. The results showed that the proportion of pregnant women at risk was very high across all sub-districts, ranging from 96.19% to 99.22%. The most dominant risk factors were fetal weight at risk, comorbidities, and anemia, while maternal height <140 cm, maternal age <20 years, and number of pregnancies <3 times had the lowest proportions. The distribution of risk factors varied between sub-districts. Banjarsari had comorbidities as its dominant risk factor, whereas the other four sub-districts were dominated by fetal weight at risk. These findings highlight the importance of region-based interventions and community empowerment through antenatal care education to improve early detection and reduce pregnancy complications. Targeted interventions may strengthen the utilization of maternal health services and support more effective maternal health program planning.
