Analisis faktor risiko kejadian bayi berat badan lahir rendah (BBLR) selama pandemi Covid-19

Abstract

The incidence of low birth weight (LBW) is still the focus of an important problem to pay attention to, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. LBW is one of the causes of death in neonates and requires them to undergo treatment in the intensive care unit at the hospital. There are several factors that are strongly suspected of being a risk for LBW events. The aim of this research is to identify some of the risks that contribute to the incidence of LBW during the Covid-19 pandemic. A non-experimental study with a case control design was conducted in this study. Total sampling was used to get the sample, with a total of 90 case groups and 90 control groups. The case group was LBW while the control group was non LBW. The data collection technique uses secondary data by looking at medical records. The medical records used were medical records between April 2020 and August 2022. The statistical test used was the Chi-square test to get the Odds Ratio (OR) value. The results of this study indicate that multiparous mothers are 2.71 times more likely to give birth to LBW infant than primiparous mothers (OR. 2.71; 95% CI: 1.139-3.767; p=0.017). Mothers who are anemic will tend to give birth to LBW infant 2.026 times compared to mothers who are not anemic (OR.2.026; 95% CI: 1.102-3.723; p=0.023). Mothers who have a history of Covid-19 infection will tend to be 4.038 more likely to give birth to LBW infant than mothers who are negative for Covid-19 (OR.4.038; 95% CI: 1.087-15.002; p=0.037). The conclusion is parity status, anemia status, and history of COVID-19 infection are risk factors for LBW events during the Covid-19 pandemic.
