    Grandmultipara women, defined as those with many previous births, face higher risks for complications like anemia and postpartum hemorrhage. This study highlights grandmultiparity as a significant high-risk obstetric concern.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Maternal-Fetal Medicine
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Grandmultiparity, defined as five or more previous deliveries, is associated with increased obstetric risks.
    • Understanding the incidence and associated complications is crucial for improving maternal and fetal outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To estimate the incidence of grandmultiparity at a tertiary care hospital in Karachi.
    • To compare obstetric and medical complications between grandmultiparae and less parous women.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 1,501 deliveries over a 2-year period (1982-1983).
    • Comparison of complication rates between grandmultiparae (n=431) and less parous women (n=1,070).

    • Grandmultiparae exhibited a higher incidence of anemia, spontaneous abortions, abruptio placentae, postpartum hemorrhage, and spontaneous uterine rupture.
    • Fetal loss rates were also elevated in the grandmultipara group.
    • Grandmultiparity was identified as a significant risk factor for adverse obstetric outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • Grandmultiparity presents a continued high-risk obstetric challenge.
    • Targeted interventions and increased vigilance are necessary for managing grandmultipara pregnancies.
    • Further research into the specific mechanisms underlying these complications is warranted.
