- Abstract
Low Birth Weight (LBW) is an indicator of public health. The morbidity and mortality risk of LBW is 4 times greater than non-LBW. Low birth weight (LBW) both in preterm and term gestational age infants often occurs jaundice. This study aims to determine the distribution of LBW with neonatal jaundice based on gestational age in Perinatology Ward at Dustira Hospital. This quantitative descriptive study uses data sources from medical records in the Perinatology Ward from January to December 2019. The results of this study showed there were 51 (87.9%) pre-term LBW and 7 (12,1%) term LBW and none post-term LBW infant. There are 42 (72,8%) cases of LBW with neonatal jaundice with 35 (83,3%) pre-term LBW and 7 (16,7%) term LBW. Neonatal jaundice occurrs more often in pre-term LBW than term LBW as done by other studies. The incidence of LBW with neonatal jaundice is not only affected by gestational age, but also by ABO blood group incompatibility, maternal age during pregnancy, the gender of the infants, and asphyxia.
