Abstract

Background: Low Brith Weight (LBW) is still a significant public health problem. The high incidence of LBW may affect the quality of human resources in the future, since babies born with LBW may also cause an increased risk of permanent disability, cognitive impairment and other chronic health problems in the future. Identification of LBW risk factors is essential in mediating the health consequences of LBW after birth and also in reducing the incidence of LBW. This study aims to the risk factors and the incidence of LBW in DR.Slamet Garut Hospital. Methods: This study was a retrospective analytic survey with cross-sectional design, using secondary data, collected from medical records of DR.Slamet Garut Hospital from January1st to December 31st 2019. The sample was 1582 of unabridged birth from a population that met the inclusion criteria. Data were analyzed by univariate, bivariate with chi-square and multivariate test with multiple logistic regressions. Result: The incidence of LBW were 19,6%. The result of bivariate analysis showed significant relationship between gestasional age (p=0,000; OR=77,055), twin pregnancy (p=0,000; OR=21,387), eclampsia (p=0,002; OR=3,310), preeclampsia (p=0,010; OR=1,836), HB (P=0,014; OR=1,668) and education (p=0,044;OR=1,640) with LBW. Gestational age is the most dominant factor causing LBW after controlled by other variable. Conclusion: The incidence of LBW in DR Slamet Garut Hospital in 2019 was still high, with the most dominant factor is gestational age. Need to develop a model of early detection LBW at the community level by reference to the risk factors found in every health care unit in Garut
