    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Perinatal Medicine
    • Geriatric Pregnancy

    Background:

    • Advanced maternal age (35 years and older) is associated with increased pregnancy risks.
    • First-time pregnancies in older women require specific attention due to potential fetal complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To define the fetal risks, including perinatal death and neonatal morbidity, in first-time pregnancies among elderly patients (35+).
    • To identify areas for improved management in prenatal care and labor to reduce adverse fetal outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective review of 127 elderly patients (35 years and over) undergoing their first pregnancy.
    • Analysis of perinatal mortality, incidence of small-for-dates infants, and neonatal morbidity rates.

    Main Results:

    • A perinatal mortality rate equivalent of 94/1,000 was observed.
    • An 11% incidence of small-for-dates infants and an 18% neonatal morbidity rate were recorded.
    • These rates indicate a significant risk to the fetus in this patient group.

    Conclusions:

    • There is a need for heightened awareness of fetal risks in pregnancies of women aged 35 and over.
    • Emphasis on prevention strategies during prenatal care and labor is essential to improve outcomes.
    • Targeted interventions may reduce perinatal death and neonatal morbidity in this population.
