Background

• Advanced maternal age is often linked to pregnancy complications.

• This study compared pregnancy outcomes between women aged 20–34 and those aged 35 or older.

Methods

• Cross-sectional study of 150 patients at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital in 2022.

• Data were analysed with chi-square and Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel tests.

Key Results

• Women aged 35 or older had significantly higher rates of operative delivery (OR 2.16).

• Hypertensive disorders (OR 3.95) and postpartum hemorrhage (OR 2.93) were also more common.

• Neonatal outcomes did not differ significantly between the age groups.

Discussion & Conclusion

• Advanced maternal age is associated with adverse maternal outcomes.

• Neonatal outcomes appear comparable between age groups.
