INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to determine the risk factors associated with the number of parities of grand multiparities
METHODS: Between 2013 and 2018, 139 grandmultipar women with ≥ 7 parities and 160 grandmultipar women with between 5 and 7 parities were included in this study. Two groups were compared in terms of age, gestational week, maternal and fetal outcomes.
RESULTS: Almost all of the grandmultipar women with between 5 and 7 parities (99.4%) were over 35 years old. There were no differences in terms of preeclampsia, EDT, EMR, neonatal intensive care need, fetal weight, low birth weight and macrosomia. However, IUGR and postterm ratios were more frequent in grandmultipar women with between 5 and 7 parities.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: We believe that grandmultipar women with ≥ 7 parities are associated with similar risks in terms of antepartum and intrapartum complications compared to grandmultipar women with between 5 and 7 parities.
