Elderly primigravidae experienced higher rates of breech presentation and longer labor durations. This study highlights a significant increase in perinatal mortality among older first-time mothers.

Area of Science:

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

Background:

  • Advanced maternal age (elderly primigravidae) presents unique obstetric challenges.
  • Understanding complications in this demographic is crucial for improving maternal and infant outcomes.
  • Socio-economic factors can influence pregnancy outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate pregnancy and labor complications in elderly primigravidae.
  • To compare perinatal and maternal mortality rates between elderly and younger primigravidae.
  • To assess outcomes in an urban, socio-economically disadvantaged population.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of 317 elderly primigravidae cases.
  • Inclusion of both booked and emergency admissions.

  • Comparison with a cohort of younger primigravidae within the same population.

    • Main Results:

    • Elderly primigravidae showed a higher incidence of breech presentation.
    • Increased duration of labor and operative interventions were observed in the elderly group.
    • A significant finding was the high perinatal mortality rate in elderly primigravidae; no maternal deaths occurred.

    Conclusions:

    • Elderly primigravidae face increased risks for specific labor complications.
    • High perinatal mortality is a critical concern in this population.
    • Targeted interventions may be necessary to mitigate risks for older first-time mothers.
