ABSTRACT

Background: The four most significant causes of maternal death in Indonesia are bleeding 30.3%, hypertension in pregnancy (HDK) 27.1%, infection 7.3%, and indirect conditions such as cancer, kidney, heart, or other diseases suffered by the mother 35.3%. Medical history is one of the risk factors for early screening of pregnancy to prevent eclampsia.

Aim: This study aims to determine the relationship between medical history and the incidence of preeclampsia.

Method: This research is a quantitative study applying a descriptive correlation method with a retrospective case-control approach. The sampling technique in the case group eventually used the total sample technique of 77 preeclamptic pregnant women. Meanwhile, in the control group, the sampling technique was a systematically random sampling of 77 pregnant women who did not experience preeclampsia.

Result: The chi-square statistical test results resulted in a p-value 0.009 <0.05, which means that there is a significant relationship between medical history and the occurrence of preeclampsia
