Complicações na gestação em mulheres com idade maior ou igual a 35 anos

Abstract

OBJECTIVE To verify the frequency and factors associated with complications during pregnancy and the association between complications with premature birth and type of delivery in pregnant women aged 35 years or older. METHODS This is a cross-sectional study based on the records of pregnant women admitted between January and July 2012, totalling 430 pregnant women. To identify possible factors associated with complications during pregnancy, data were subjected to univariate analysis using the Poisson regression model. The chi-squared test was used to study the association of complications with premature birth ad type of delivery. RESULTS Complications occurred in 77.7% of the cases. Complications in pregnancy as an explanatory variable for premature birth (p < 0.001) and C-section (p = 0.002) was statistically significant. CONCLUSION The factors younger age, the absence of prenatal care, and the non-occurrence of morbidity prior to gestation were associated with complications in pregnancy.

Factors associated with the presence of cleft lip and / or cleft palate in Brazilian newborns

“…The presence of cleft was associated with prematurity, race/color white, children of mothers with age greater than or equal to 35 years old and worse conditions of vitality at birth. [12][13][14][15][16] The average rate of cleft lip and/or cleft palate was 0.51/1000 live births; corroborating an analysis carried out in the period from 2000 to 2013 that pointed to a national average of 0.48/1000 live births. 13 As regards the Brazilian regions most affected by this anomaly, the South and Southeast regions presented higher rates, a fact that is consistent with the literature, in which the higher prevalence of cleft lip and/or cleft palate in Brazil was verified in the South region, being the lowest rate corresponding to the northeast region.…”

“…13 Growing scientific evidence indicating that the advanced maternal age is a factor associated with the development of congenital anomalies. 16,20 This is due to the aging of the ovules, which may have structural defects due to advanced age. 16,20 Another factor influencer are the pre-existing chronic diseases, which may weaken the proper functioning of the female body, causing damage to the fetus.…”

Avaliação glicêmica em uma amostra de gestantes do Vale do Taquari, RS

“…11,13 É notório que com o avanço da idade ocorram alterações no metabolismo de carboidratos, lipídeos e proteínas que podem estar associadas a estes achados. [13][14][15][16][17] Na presente pesquisa observase que a idade materna ≥ 40 anos esteve associada a alterações no metabolismo da glicose, o que pode provocar complicações para a mulher se a mesma não tiver um acompanhamento pré-natal adequado. 18,19 Contudo na amostra avaliada o número de mulheres acima de 40 anos foi baixo.…”
