Abstract

The evidence that magnesium levels are related to pathological occurrences in pregnancy is increasing. This research was purpose to the effect of magnrsium suplemention ang pegnancy outcomes. The study was conducted in the maternal and child health polyclinic, Primary Health Care, Padang City, Indonesia from June 2019 - May 2020. It was experimental study with pre-test and post-test control group design carried out pregnant women. As much as 90 pregnant women were selected by convenience sampling method for the study, they are grouped as follows: Group-A (hypomagnesemia in intervention group), group-B (normal magnesium in intervention group), and group-C (normal magnesium in the control group). The intervention group with supplementation of magnesium 365 mg/ day during pregnancy starting at 22 weeks to 36 weeks. The control group received Fe tablet 180 mg/ day at the same time of the intervention group. In the third trimester of pregnancy blood samples were taken for examination of post-intervention magnesium in all groups. The effect of magnesium supplementation and pregnancy outcomes was tested using chi-square to determine the effect. Multiple logistic regression was tested to multivariate analysis. This study found that magnesium supplementation is associated with preeclampsia in pregnant women with hypomagnesemia in the interventional group (RR = 6.51 [95% CI 1.06-39.93]), and that magnesium supplementation on pregnant women with hypomagnesemia contributed to the prevention of preeclampsia 6.51 times. This study confirmed the effect of magnesium supplement among pregnant women with hypomagnesemia to prevent preeclampsia.
