  • Title: [The older primipara--an obstetrical risk group?].
    Author: Seufert R, Casper F, Krass A, Brockerhoff P.
    Journal: Zentralbl Gynakol; 1994; 116(3):169-72. PubMed ID: 8178598.
    Abstract:
    While the number of the "elderly primigravida" seems to increase in some perinatal centers, we compared pregnancy, delivery mode and fetal outcome of 416 patients with a matched pair group of 15 year younger primigravida. While the rate of caesarean section and vacuum extraction rises up to 40%, we could not found any difference for the fetal outcome. Though we conclude that modern perinatal management in case of the elderly primigravida is very effective and allows normal fetal outcome.
