title: [Labor and delivery in grand multipara. Retrospective study of 419 cases in 2 1/2 years].
abstract: Grand multiparity was long considered to be an obstetric risk factor. Is this still the case in 1990? Four hundred and nineteen deliveries of grand multipara (defined as six deliveries or more) were studied and compared with deliveries of patients of lower parity. There was no evidence of significantly more difficulties in the grand multipara. Age and general condition appear to have more influence than parity on the prognosis of labour and delivery.
