Description:
Event of mortality is basically the end of the accumulation process (outcome) of the various causes of
mortality directly or indirectly. In Katingan, maternal mortality rate is above the national average since
2013, 2014, and 2015 respectively following cases 322.71, 556.52 cases, and 417.83 cases per 100,000
live births. Meanwhile, national targets are at 228 per 100,000 live births. McCarthy and Maine proposed
three factors that influence maternal mortality is close determinants, determinants and determinants far
between. Nutritional status, anemia, birth attendants, and the delay between the referral is a determinant of
maternal mortality. The design / research design used in the study is analytic observational case control,
which is a risk factor research study with retrospective approach. This study was conducted in Katingan
for 7 months ie from February to August 2016. The control population consisted of all mothers postpartum
in Katingan who did not experience maternal mortality during the years 2013 to 2015. The sample in this
study as many as 32 cases. The results showed that the nutritional status, anemia status, and birth
attendants have no significant relationship with maternal mortality, with a p-value respectively as follows
0,113, 0,113 and 0,024. However, delayed in reference has a significant association with maternal
mortality with p-value = 0.0001.
