The relationship between maternal age and uterine dysfunction: A continuous effect throughout reproductive life

Pregnancy in advanced maternal age: maternal and fetal outcome

“…The iteration was more important for primiparae women compared to multiparae women exposed at primary cesarean section (76% against 24%), in agreement with luke et al (23). In fact different studies underline how for primipare women was more frequent recurring at cesarean section for fetal suffering and dystocia (16,17). The recourse at cesarean section could be caused by a minor uterine contractility and an altered tissue compliance.…”

“…In Germany, denmark, Great Britain and Japan, the effect of birth fluctuated between 5 and 10% for women over 40 years (12)(13)(14). The analysis of obstetrical outcome has revealed an important effect of maternal complications such as: gestational hypertension, gestational diabetes, antepartum bleeding and preterm birth, according to the literature (8,(15)(16)(17). The iteration of hypertensive disorders has been more important among primiparae women; whereas gestational diabetes has not presented significant mutations between two groups (14,18).…”

Contemporary second stage labor patterns in Taiwanese women with normal neonatal outcomes

“…The myometrial tissues may undergo a physiologic aging process, or the myometrium may become less effective or responsive to oxytocic agents with age [13]. Alternatively, skeletal muscular strength declines with age.…”

Induction of labor at term following external cephalic version in nulliparous women is associated with an increased risk of cesarean delivery

“…Previously, advanced maternal age and macrosomia were demonstrated to be risk factors for CD [45][46][47][48]. In this study, maternal age was adjusted by matching the controls to the study group, thereby excluding it as a confounding factor.…”
