Obstetric outcome of elderly low-risk nulliparae.
Аннотация
OBJECTIVE
To compare referrals and reasons for referral during pregnancy and labor, mode of delivery and obstetric outcome of first births in women 35 years and older with women 20-30 years old.
METHODS
A prospective cohort study was performed of 146 elderly and 306 younger nulliparae in seven independent midwives' practices in and around Amsterdam.
RESULTS
No significant differences in referrals were found between the two compared groups. After selection during pregnancy, obstetric outcome was not different between the groups. A higher percentage of episiotomies was found in the elderly group, compared to the younger group.
CONCLUSIONS
After proper selection during pregnancy, the elderly nullipara under the care of a midwife does not have an increased risk of fetal distress or other emergency factors, compared to the younger nullipara. However, high referral rates during labor - both of younger and older women - were observed in this study.
