OBJECTIVE: To describe maternal and fetal outcomes of pregnancies after 42 years and to compare maternal and fetal morbidities according to the conception mode; comparing pregnancies obtained spontaneously and those resulting from assisted reproductive technology (ART).

METHODS: This retrospective cohort study was conducted in a level 3 maternity hospital. This study covered all women, aged 42 years or older, who gave birth between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2019. Univariate and multivariate analyses with logistic regression models were used to compare maternal and perinatal outcomes depending on conception mode: spontaneous or using ART.

RESULTS: A sample of 532 women, including 335 spontaneous pregnancies (63%) and 147 pregnancies after ART (27.6%) were studied. Conception mode was missing for 50 (9.4%). We found increased rates not only of maternal complications such as maternal overweight and obesity, pre-eclampsia, and gestational diabetes, but also of interventions such as hospitalization during pregnancy, cesarean section, postpartum hemorrhage, and perinatal outcome like preterm birth. There were also more maternal and perinatal negative outcomes among the ART group. After multivariate analysis, pre-eclampsia was predominant in the ART group (odds ratio 0.25, 95% confidence interval 0.07-0.85, P = 0.02).

CONCLUSION: While maternal and fetal risks increase for late pregnancies, there also appears to be a difference depending on the conception mode, with pregnancies resulting from ART having more pregnancy-related complications than those obtained spontaneously.
