Abstract

Background : Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia (GTN) is a tumor originating from cytotrophoblast and syncytotrophoblast that invades myometrium, damages surrounding tissue and blood vessels, and causing bleeding.

Purpose : This study aims to determine the relationship between age, history of previous pregnancies, β-hCG levels, parity, and interval with last pregnancy on the incidence of GTN.

Method : This research is an observational analytic study with a cross sectional research design. Univariate analysis was carried out which described the frequency distribution of variables and bivariate analysis with the chi square statistical test .

Result : The results of this study showed that there was a significant relationship between age, history of previous pregnancies, β-hCG levels and parity) and the incidence of GTN, while the interval with the last pregnancy did not have a significant relationship with the incidence of GTN .

Conclusion: It was concluded that age, history of previous pregnancy, β-hCG levels, and parity are risk factors for GTN.
