Hematological Analysis of Preeclampsia Patients at Regional Public Hospital RadenMattaher Jambi - Indonesia

Abstract

The cause of maternal death may vary from bleeding, preeclampsia, abortion complication, obstructed labor or labor dystocia, and sepsis. Preeclampsia is considered as the main cause of maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity which is defined as a syndrome characterized by hypertension and proteinuria after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Hematology factors such as hemoglobin level, hematocrit level, and platelets count influenced the preeclampsia incidence. Therefore, this research aimed to analyze level of hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelets count on the preeclampsia incidence. Case-control was applied as a method with 110 sample numbers consisted of 55 expectant mothers as case samples and 55 expectant mothers as control samples with a ratio of 1:1. Chi-square test was applied in this research with 95% level of certainty. The research results indicated that most expectant mothers with preeclampsia (55%) had hemoglobin at risk level, 64.3% had abnormal hematocrit level, and 55.5% had platelets count at risk level as well. Chi-square statistical analysis concluded that hemoglobin level, hematocrit level, and platelets count influenced the preeclampsia incidence with p-value of 0.002 and OR value of 3.656 (CI: 1.654-8084); p-value of 0.31 and OR value 2.571; and p-value 0.002 and OR value 3.656 (CI: 1.654-8.084), respectively.
