Abstract
Background: Pregnancy, lasting about 40 weeks, is a critical period divided into three trimesters. Among potential complications, preeclampsia is particularly concerning due to its significant impact on maternal and fetal health. Early detection and management are crucial to prevent severe outcomes. Despite its elusive etiology, risk factors include maternal age, medical history, and lifestyle factors. The study investigates the relationship between maternal age, medical history, and the incidence of preeclampsia, a serious pregnancy complication, at Prima Medika General Hospital in Denpasar, Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used, analyzing 248 medical records of pregnant women diagnosed with preeclampsia from January 2023 to August 2024. The chi-square statistical test assessed the relationships between maternal age, history of chronic diseases, and preeclampsia incidence. Results: The study found significant influences on preeclampsia incidence from age, with 67.75% of high-risk (< 20 and > 35 years) respondents experiencing the condition, compared to 32.25% in the low-risk (20-35 years) group (p = 0.026, OR = 9.2). A history of hypertension significantly increased preeclampsia risk (p < 0.0001, OR = 80.6), as did multiple pregnancies (p = 0.00019, OR = 35.25) and diabetes mellitus (p < 0.00003, OR = 43.25). Kidney disease history showed no significant impact (p = 0.245). Conclusions: Maternal age, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus significantly increase preeclampsia risk at Prima Medika General Hospital Denpasar. Tailored antenatal care is essential for women with these risk factors. Although kidney disease showed no significant link, personalized healthcare remains crucial.
