    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Pregnancy in elderly primiparas (first-time mothers over 30) presents significant risks, including high rates of spontaneous abortion, obstetric complications like toxaemia, and difficult deliveries. Neonatal outcomes also show elevated mortality and morbidity.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Reproductive Medicine
    • Geriatric Medicine

    Context:

    • Elderly primiparas, defined as women experiencing their first childbirth at an advanced maternal age (typically over 30), represent a growing demographic.
    • This study analyzes 190 case histories to understand the unique challenges and outcomes associated with pregnancy and delivery in this population.
    • The analysis focuses on identifying age-related obstetric pathologies and their impact on maternal and neonatal health.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the specific risks and complications associated with pregnancy and delivery in elderly primiparas.
    • To quantify the frequency of key obstetric pathologies, including spontaneous abortion, infertility treatment, toxaemia, premature delivery, and uterine fibromata.
    • To evaluate delivery methods and neonatal outcomes, including mortality and morbidity, in this patient group.

    Summary:

    • Elderly primiparity (0.6% frequency) is associated with a high incidence of spontaneous abortion (26.8%) and reliance on infertility treatment (20.5%).
    • Common age-related obstetric issues include toxaemia (32.4%), premature delivery (14.3%), and uterine fibromata (17.3%).
    • Delivery is frequently complicated by dystocia, with high rates of forceps (33.2%) and Caesarean sections (34.2%) compared to unassisted vaginal deliveries (32%). Neonatal mortality (5.2%) and morbidity (Apgar score < 7 in 29.6%) are notably elevated.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the increased obstetric risks and adverse neonatal outcomes in elderly primiparas, underscoring the need for specialized prenatal care.
    • Provides critical data for healthcare providers to counsel patients on the risks of delayed childbearing.
    • Informs clinical practice and resource allocation for managing pregnancies in older, first-time mothers.
