Sažetak
The goal was to examine the influence of grand multiparity on the fetal and maternal outcome. The medical records of women delivered in Clinical Hospital Rijeka during seven years period were analyzed and divided into two study groups: grand multiparous women, (five or more infants), and women having given birth to three to four infants. The socio-economic parameters, frequency of pregnancy and labor complications as fetal outcome were compared between groups. The statistical analysis was done by chi square test, p<0.05. There were 22504 deliveries and 107 (0.47%) were in the grand multiparas group and 2745 (12.19%) in the control group. Cesarean section rate was significantly higher in the grand multiparas group (13.08 % vs 8.19 %). The neonatal outcome in the grand multiparas group indicated a significantly higher incidence of low Apgar score, and higher fetal mortality rate. Grand multiparity is linked with low socioeconomic status. Higher fetal mortality rate is a result of parity's interrelationship with social class factors and not parity per se.
