Is the elderly primipara really at high risk?

M Blum

    Journal of Perinatal Medicine
    |January 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Elderly primiparae (EP) deliveries showed no significant differences in outcomes compared to younger groups, except for a higher cesarean section rate. Improved care can reduce risks for this group.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

    Background:

    • Elderly primiparae (EP), defined as women aged 30 and above having their first child, represent a growing demographic in obstetrics.
    • Historically, advanced maternal age has been associated with increased obstetric risks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare pregnancy, labor, delivery, and fetal outcomes in elderly primiparae (EP) with younger control groups.
    • To identify specific risk factors and outcomes associated with advanced maternal age at first birth.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective cohort study comparing 55 elderly primiparae (EP) with two control groups (30-34 years and 20-29 years).
    • Analysis of gynecologic history, pregnancy course, labor, delivery, and fetal outcomes.
    • Statistical comparison of key obstetric parameters between the groups.

    Main Results:

    • No significant differences were found in gynecologic history, pregnancy course, or fetal outcomes between EP and control groups.
    • A markedly higher rate of cesarean sections was observed in the EP group (49.1%) compared to the 20-29 years group (2.3%).

    Conclusions:

    • Elderly primiparae (EP) are a group at increased risk, primarily due to a higher cesarean section rate.
    • Liberal use of cesarean sections, advanced antenatal care, and timely intervention for prolonged labor can improve outcomes for EP.
    • Modern obstetric management offers a better outlook for both mother and fetus in the EP group.
