Abstract The maternal mortality rate is the number of maternal deaths during pregnancy, labor and childbirth. Maternal mortality is an important problem because it causes the state to lose a number of productive forces, increasing child morbidity and mortality. This study aims to determine the risk factors for maternal mortality. The research used was analytic observational with a case control study design with a sample size of 120 people consisting of 30 case groups and 90 control groups with a ratio of 1: 3, Data analysis used bivariate analysis with Odds Ratio and multivariate analysis with multiple logistic regression. The results found there are three variables which are risk factors for maternal mortality, namely late referral (OR = 4, 620, 95% CI = 1, 513-14, 113), history of maternal disease (OR = 3, 028, 95% CI = 1, 095-8, 669), and obstetric complications (OR = 3, 081, 95% CI = 1, 161-7, 896). While antenatal examination, family planning history, parity and distance of pregnancy are not risk factors for maternal mortality. Health workers are advised to strengthen the referral network system, conduct early detection of risk factors and manage obstetric complications.
