title: [Labor in the older primipara].
abstract: In the Gynecology Department Split's General Medical hospital, during the period of 5 years (1975-1979) examinations were carried out on primiparas (10775 up to the age of 29, then 504 between the ages of 30-34, and 250 older then 35). These patients had pregnancy complications (EPH-gestosis and diabetes mellitus), premature delivery, birth of children with less then 2500 grams, overcarriage, obstetrical intervention (forceps, vacuum extraction, caesarian) section and perinal mortality and morbidity. Premature delivery and the birth of children lighter then 2500 grams is significantly increased between the ages of 30-34, and still increasing after the age of 35. The frequency of EPH--gestosis is increased between the ages of 30 and 34 and still increasing after the age of 35. The significant increase of diabetes in pregnancy becomes evident after the age of 35. Deliveries ended by an operation become very frequent between the ages of 30-34, significantly increasing after the age of 35 (vacuum extraction and caesarean). Perinal morbidity and mortality are significantly increased after the age of 35. The Author's conclusion is that older primiparas are those women who are expecting their first child after the age of 35. Primiparas between the ages of 30-34, because of the higher rate of fetal injury, should be shown more attention in the perinal period.
