Older women appeared more likely than comparison women to have pregnancy complications including gestational hypertensive disorders, gestational diabetes, postpartum haemorrhage, caesarean delivery, iatrogenic and spontaneous preterm delivery on univariable analysis and after adjustment for demographic and medical factors. However, adjustment for multiple pregnancy or use of assisted conception attenuated most effects, with significant associations remaining only with gestational diabetes (adjusted odds ratio [\n aOR<\/jats:styled-content>\n ] 4.81, 95%\n CI<\/jats:styled-content>\n 1.93\u201312.00), caesarean delivery (\n aOR<\/jats:styled-content>\n 2.78, 95%\n CI<\/jats:styled-content>\n 1.44\u20135.37) and admission to an intensive care unit (\n aOR<\/jats:styled-content>\n 33.53, 95%\n CI<\/jats:styled-content>\n 2.73\u2013412.24).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Women giving birth at advanced maternal age have higher risks of a range of pregnancy complications.
