The asphyxia prevalence in Demang Sepulau Raya public hospital increased from 9.79% in period of June 2019 – May 2020 to 10.3% , and this was coincident with increasing prevalence of low birth weight of 116 from 100 cases. This research was purposed to find out the correlation between birth weight and asphyxia neonatorum in Demang Sepulau Raya public hospital of Lampung Tengah regency in period of June 2019 – May 2020. This was an analytic research with cross sectional approach.

The statistic test obtained p-value 0.000 and OR 19.69 and this meant that there was a significant correlation between birth weight and asphyxia neonatorum incidents in Demang Sepualu Raya public hospital. Neonatal with abnormal birth weight had 20 fold risk of experiencing asphyxia compared with neonatal with normal weight.
