Abstract
In Indonesia in 2020, there were 28,158 infant deaths, of which 20,266 (72%) occurred during the neonatal period. Among these neonatal deaths, 27.4% were caused by neonatal asphyxia. In West Kalimantan Province, there were 682 neonatal deaths recorded in 2023. The leading causes of neonatal mortality in 2023 were Low Birth Weight (LBW) and prematurity (32%), followed by asphyxia (24%). Based on the 2023 Sintang Regency health profile, the infant mortality rate was 9.6 per 1,000 live births. This study aimed to determine the relationship between LBW and the incidence of neonatal asphyxia. The research used an analytical observational approach with a cross-sectional design. The study was conducted at Ade M. Djoen Sintang Regional Hospital from January to December 2023 using secondary data. The population consisted of all newborns at Ade M. Djoen Sintang Regional Hospital, totaling 104 infants. A total sampling technique was applied, resulting in a sample size of 104 respondents. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test. The Chi-square analysis produced a p-value of 0.0241 (p < 0.05), indicating a statistically significant relationship between Low Birth Weight (LBW) and neonatal asphyxia. The Odds Ratio (OR) of 4.021 shows that LBW infants have a 4.021-fold higher risk of experiencing neonatal asphyxia compared to infants with normal birth weight.
