title: [The older primipara--an obstetrical risk group?].
abstract: While the number of the "elderly primigravida" seems to increase in some perinatal centers, we compared pregnancy, delivery mode and fetal outcome of 416 patients with a matched pair group of 15 year younger primigravida. While the rate of caesarean section and vacuum extraction rises up to 40%, we could not found any difference for the fetal outcome. Though we conclude that modern perinatal management in case of the elderly primigravida is very effective and allows normal fetal outcome.
