Abstract

Purpose: The objective of this study is to examine the relationship between the age of mothers and the occurrence of preeclampsia, with a specific focus on variances among different age groups.
Methods: The study at As-Sifa Hospital used a retrospective method with 320 postpartum mothers to analyze correlations between maternal age and preeclampsia, ensuring comprehensive data integrity and ethical compliance.
Findings: The findings revealed distinct patterns in preeclampsia incidence among maternal age groups. A significant majority (80.0%) of mothers fell within the 20-35 age range, with 16.2% being over 35 years old and a smaller proportion (3.8%) under 20 years old. Preeclampsia was observed in 7.5% of the total sample, predominantly among mothers aged over 35 years. This underscores a pronounced association between advanced maternal age and heightened risk of preeclampsia, highlighting age as a critical factor in maternal health outcomes.
Originality: This study offers crucial insights into how maternal age influences preeclampsia risk at As-Sifa Hospital, Indonesia, using extensive medical records. Such findings are pivotal for tailored interventions, potentially enhancing health outcomes for mothers and newborns.
Advantage for Society: In order to reduce the risks connected with preeclampsia, the study emphasizes the significance of customized prenatal care plans based on mother age. Healthcare professionals can reduce maternal morbidity and mortality by implementing early detection techniques and targeted therapies that target age-related changes in preeclampsia incidence
