Abstract

Hypertensive phenotypes complicating gestation persist as a primary driver of maternal and perinatal morbidity, frequently terminating in compromised delivery profiles such as low birth weight (LBW). This investigative endeavor sought to map the baseline demographic architecture of postpartum matrixes and corresponding neonatal mass configurations at the Sagerat Public Health Center, Bitung City, establishing an initial diagnostic snapshot of gestational vascular tension and infant mass deficits. Utilizing an observational-analytic cross-sectional framework, the study integrated a definitive cohort of 30 postpartum subjects selected via a total sampling methodology. Empirical data were systematically extracted from maternal-neonatal clinical charts and subjected to descriptive computation utilizing the IBM SPSS Statistics version 26 engine. The analytical matrix monitored maternal chronological age, parity distribution, gestational anemia, chronic energy deficiency, active infectious pathways, prior premature parturition, gestational hypertensive disorders, and final birth weight. The output indicated an arithmetic mean maternal age of 28.70 ± 6.59 years, with near three-quarter saturation concentrated within the optimal 20 to 35-year reproductive window (73.3%). The dominant proportion comprised multiparous individuals (53.3%), while the baseline sample mostly navigated gestation free from the burdens of anemia (70.0%), macro-nutritional depletion (73.3%), infectious conditions (83.3%), or a history of preterm labor (90.0%). Crucially, gestational hypertensive phenotypes manifested in 43.3% of the matrixes, whereas a striking 50.0% equilibrium of the newborn collective fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for low birth weight. These dense pathological concentrations underscore a critical clinical mandate for fortifying antenatal care protocols through institutionalized cardiovascular screening and the aggressive early isolation of maternal risk factors to preserve neonatal health.
