M a Ternal and Fetal Outcome in Advanced M a Ternal Age

Abstract

BACKGROUND:Globally, there is a rising trend among women towards delaying pregnancy and childbirth. But in a developing country like India, the scenario is different where poor socio-economic status, lack of contraceptive knowledge, religious issues, desire for male child, dowry system, concept of large family predominate. OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY: To study the maternal and fetal outcome of pregnancy in advanced maternal age. METHODOLOGY: A retrospective hospital based study was carried out in the department of obstetrics & gynecology; over a period of 3 years. Data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences Version 16. RESULTS: 101 patients who met all the parameters in the inclusion and exclusion criteria were taken into consideration in this study. The mean age of the patients were 36.4 +/-2.24. Majority of them were under the group of multigravida (2-4), which is 63 (62.37%) in number. Grand multi was 34 (33.66%). There were increased incidence of congenital and chromosomal abnormalities with comparatively reduced incidence of maternal complications. CONCLUSION: Advanced maternal age is a vital time to screen for congenital and chromosomal abnormalities.

A comparative prospective study of maternofetal outcome in advanced and younger maternal age group in higher socioeconomic strata

“…The majority of patient were multigravida 82.5% in advanced maternal age which was comparable to study conducted by Najah AR et al 96.03%. 6 The difference in mode of conception was statistically significant (P=0.044) as assisted conception was more in advanced maternal age. Study by Pawde A, et al also concluded that rate of assisted conception was significantly higher among women aged 35 years and above.…”

A ladder‐shaped dibutyltin(IV) carboxylate with 2‐(4‐ethylbenzoyl)benzoic acid: Synthesis, crystal structure, and luminescent property

“…The molecular structure of complex 1 is shown in Figure 1, and selected bond lengths and angles are listed in Table 1. Complex 1 is a centrosymmetric tetranuclear bis(dicarboxy latotetrabutyldistannoxane) complex consisting of a planar Sn 4 O 2 core, where two μ 3 -oxygens connect a Sn 2 O 2 ring to two exocyclic Sn atoms to give a (n-Bu) 8 [14][15][16] The molecular structure of 1 can be revealed as a "ladder" skeleton, which is rounded by four ligands extending into two flanks adopting mono-and bidentate coordination modes alternately.…”
