| dc.description.abstract | According to WHO, 129 million women delivering a baby suffered from
complication during their pregnancy every year. The data obtained from the
household health survey (Survey Kesehatan Rumah Tangga-SKRT) 2001 shows that
there are theree main causes of the death of pregnant mother/the mother delivering a
baby in Indonesia such as hemorrhage (28%), severe pre-eclampsia/eclampsia (24%)
and infection (11 %).
To analyze the risk factor of severe pre-eclampsia/eclampsia in dr. Pimgadi
General Hospital Medan, a study with case control design was conducted towards 56
pregnant mothers/the mothers delivering a baby with severe pre-eclampsi/eclampsi
(case group) and without severe pre-eclampsia/eclampsia (control group) within a
period of January to December 2007. The data obtained were analyzed through
univariate, bivariate (Chi-Square test), and multivariate (multiple logistic regression
test) analysis.
The result of bivariate analysis through Chi-square test shows that there are
four variables such as pregnancy age (p = 0.000), chronic hypertension (p = 0.000),
kidney disease (p-value = 0.008), and pregnancy check-up (p-value 0,020) have a
significant relationship with the incident of severe pre-eclampsia/eclampsia.
The result of multivariate analysis shows that there are two dominant factor
such as chronic hypertension (p = 0.000) and pregnancy age (p = 0.001). Chronic
hypertension is the most dominant factor with the biggest B Exponential (0.439).
To prevent the incedent of severe pre-eclampsia/eclampsia in pregnant
mothers, it is expected that health workers can carry out a routine antenatal care
(ANC), provide counselling on the women reproduction health and perform early
detection of the signs of chronic hypertension to avoid teh emergency condition | en_US |
