Abstract
Background: Preeclampsia is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality in Indonesia and leads to severe fetal complications, including low birth weight (LBW). LBW not only affects the health of the fetus at birth but also increases the risk of cognitive and developmental disorders later in life. Advanced Maternal Age (AMA) is a recognized risk factor for preeclampsia, and several studies have demonstrated an association between preeclampsia and an increased risk of LBW. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the frequency distribution of preeclampsia severity advanced maternal age and its association with low birth weight for the period 2021-2022 at RSUD Dr. Soetomo Surabaya. Method: A retrospective observational descriptive study design. The objects of this study were 69 preeclampsia patients who had an age of more than 35 years. The variables of this study were maternal age, the severity of preeclampsia, and LBW. Result: This study analyzed 69 preeclampsia patients who met the inclusion criteria. Among these, 10 patients (14,49%) had preeclampsia, while 59 patients (85,51%) had severe preeclampsia. Mothers with severe preeclampsia were more often associated with low birth weight at 72,88%, while preeclampsia was 70%.
