| Summary: | This research aims to know influence of anemia at pregnant woman of the third trimester to low occurrence of Apgar score at the first minute and fifth minutes.
This was an observational research with cohort retrospective design. We examined medical record from DR. Sardjito Hospital, Yogyakarta during period of January 1997-December 2001 obtained by 149 cases of anemia on the third trimester pregnancy women of at least 37 weeks gestation with hemoglobin rate of less than 11 g% as an exposure group and 149 cases as an unexposure group with hemoglobin rate of equal or more than 11 g%. Statistical test used were X2 test, Fischer Exact test and binary logistic regression method of forward stepwise.
The result showed that anemia at pregnant woman of the third trimester increased the occurrence of low Apgar score at the first minute with RR=1.8 (95% CI: 1,29-2,53). The result also showed that anemia, parity, preeclamsi, mode of birth, prolonged first stage, prolonged second stage, gestational age and fetus presentation in pregnant woman of the third trimester did not have any effect on the occurrence of low Apgar score at the first minute (p=0,56). At Apgar score five minutes, with X2 test obtained by RR=1,11 (95% CI: 0,46-2,65), with binary logistic regression to dependent variables: anemia, mode of birth, fetus presentation, maternal age, prolonged first stage and preeclamsi, in the reality anemia did not have any effect on to outcome (p=0,24). Conclusion: anemia at pregnant woman of the third trimester do not have any effect the occurrence of low Apgar score at the first and fifth minutes.
