Abstract

Childbirth is the process whereby a full-term or near full-term baby is delivered from the mother's womb, followed by the expulsion of the placenta and fetal membranes from the woman's body. Caesarean section (CS) is a method of delivering a baby by making an incision in the uterine wall through the front wall of the abdomen. According to the WHO, the prevalence of cesarean section has increased by 46% in China and 25% in Asia, Europe, and Latin America. In Indonesia, the incidence of cesarean section surgery continues to increase in private hospitals from 2017 to 2019, showing an incidence rate of 1.3-6.8%. Based on a report from Health Office of Empat Lawang Regency in 2024, the incidence of infection during the postpartum period was 25.7%. The purpose of this study is to determine a correlation between age, parity, and history of hypertension with the incidence of cesarean section at RSUD Empat Lawang of Empat Lawang Regency in 2025. This study is an analytical cross-sectional study, which is a study to examine the dynamics of the correlation between risk factors and effects through an approach, observation, or data collection at a single point in time. The population in this study consisted of all pregnant women who visited RSUD Empat Lawang from January to April 2025, totaling 210 people. The sample size in this study was 68 respondents. The results of this study showed that there was a correlation between age and the incidence of cesarean section at RSUD Empat Lawang of Empat Lawang Regency in 2025. There is a correlation between parity and the incidence of Caesarean section at RSUD Empat Lawang of Empat Lawang Regency in 2025. There is a correlation between a history of hypertension and the incidence of Caesarean section at RSUD Empat Lawang of Empat Lawang Regency in 2025. It is hoped that the findings of this study can serve as a basis or reference for further research on risk factors for cesarean section.
