Abstract

Background. As people become more educated and the world becomes more modern, there is a shift in term of the age where a mother gives birth to her first child. Extreme maternal age in primigravida labor may increase risk of adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the effect of maternal age on maternal and perinatal outcomes in primigravida labor at Dr. Kariadi Hospital Semarang during the year 2010. Methods. This cross-sectional study was conducted by using secondary data from primigravida patients’ medical records who gave birth at Dr. Kariadi Hospital Semarang during the year 2010. All subjects fulfilled both inclusion and exclusion criterias. Data were described in tables and analyzed by using Chi-Square test with SPSS 17 for Windows. Results. From this study, the probabilty values (p) by using Chi-Square tests were 0,011 (significant) for evaluation of the effect of maternal age on maternal and perinatal outcomes in primigravida labor; and 0,000 (significant) for relationship between maternal age and low birth weight. The Chi-Square test results were not significant for maternal age compared to labor methods, postpartum bleeding, cephalopelvic disproportion, neonatal asphyxia, and perinatal death. Conclusions. Maternal age affects the incidences of preeclampsia and low birth weight in primigravida labor at Dr. Kariadi Hospital during the year 2010.
