Meanwhile, p-value > α(0.05), namely parity (p-value = 0.719). The conclusion obtained from this study is that maternal age, premature rupture of membranes, pre-eclampsia, and anemia have a significant relationship with the incidence of premature births, whereas in this study there was no association between parity and the incidence of premature births.
