Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) in Indonesia remains a major challenge, partly caused by delayed management of obstetric complications. Early risk detection through the classification of Potential Obstetric Danger (APGO), Obstetric Danger (AGO), and Emergency Obstetric Danger (AGDO) is essential to support the effectiveness of the maternal referral system. However, limitations in facilities and suboptimal communication between healthcare levels often pose obstacles. This descriptive quantitative study used secondary data from medical records of referred delivering mothers at Mataraman Public Health Center, Banjar Regency, conducted from March to May 2025. The study population consisted of 179 referred mothers recorded in medical records during 2024. The total sample included all 179 respondents. Data were analyzed using frequency distribution and percentages. The study showed that the majority of respondents were classified as APGO (Potential Obstetric Danger) with 145 individuals (81%), followed by AGO (Obstetric Danger) with 29 individuals (16.2%), and AGDO (Emergency Obstetric Danger) with 5 individuals (2.8%). The dominance of the APGO group indicates that most referral cases are at the potential risk stage, which can still be prevented through proper early detection and intervention.
