Comparative StudyImpact of maternal age on intrapartum caesarean delivery rate in nulliparas with spontaneous labour.
The advanced maternal age rate increases in developed countries. Older women have more pre-existing condition than youngest women and develop more frequently obstetrical pathologies responsible for a higher rate of caesarean delivery before labour and labour induction. For aged nulliparous without pathology who experience spontaneous labour, there is few data on the mode of delivery and on physiological labour according to maternal age. ⋯ For nulliparous at term in spontaneous labour, an advanced maternal age was not associated with an increased intrapartum caesarean delivery rate.
