ASSESSMENT OF PREGNANCY AND DELIVERY MANAGEMENT IN WOMEN OF ADVANCED REPRODUCTIVE AGE

Abstract

The global rise in delayed childbearing has contributed to an increase in pregnancies among women of Advanced Maternal Age (AMA), typically defined as 35 years or older. While advancements in reproductive medicine have improved pregnancy outcomes, AMA continues to be associated with elevated maternal and neonatal risks. This systematic review aims to evaluate the impact of advanced maternal age on pregnancy and birth outcomes, synthesizing current evidence on associated complications such as preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, preterm birth, caesarean delivery, low birth weight, and neonatal intensive care requirements.
