Summary: ABSTRACT: A prospective analytical study of pregnancy at maternal age 35 and after to see the influence of age on pregnancy outcome was carried out taking 100 consecutive cases irrespective of their parity at Maternity Hospital in Kathmandu from September to December 1997. Study cases were having singleton pregnancy after 28 weeks of gestation. Those cases were compared with reference (control)) population of 20-29 years. Z-test was done and result expressed at p<0.05. Significant test results were obtained for HDP (16% vs 4%, Z = 2.86), CS delivery (27% vs 8%, Z=3.65), LBW (25% vs13%, Z=2.19), perinatal death (7% vs 1%, Z=2.2) and combined antepartum complication (34% vs 11%, Z=4.03). There was higher rate of preterm delivery (14% vs 6%, Z=1.9) and still-birth (6% vs 1%, Z=1.95); PPH (10% vs 4%, Z=1.68) and need for neonatal admission (17% vs 10%, Z=1.46) was also high though not statistically significant at p<0.05. No difference was observed for gross congenital anomaly in live births, Apgar score, SGA, APH and anemia.
