Abstract

Introduction: Preterm labor is one of the biggest direct cause of neonatal death and determined by various risk factors.
Objective: To determine the effect of mother’s age, parity, preterm labor history, multiple pregnancy and pregnancy complications on the incidence of preterm labor.
Method: Retrospective case-control method was conducted. Data were obtained from medical records of mothers who did labor in RSUD Dr. M. Soewandhi in 2017.
Result: The analysis showed significant relationship between mother’s age (p=0,004), preterm labor history (p=0,006) and pregnancy complications (p<0,001) with the incidence of preterm labor. Based on multivariate analysis, mothers aged <20 and >35 years old and those who had pregnancy complications were at risk of 3,510 (95% CI 1,481-8,230) and 5,203 (95% CI 2,248-12,040) times of having preterm labor.
Conclusion: Maternal age and pregnancy complications were two contributing factors that increase the risk of preterm labor. These factors should be given special attention while assessing pregnancy to prevent preterm labor.
