This study aimed to investigate the effect of maternal age and duration of labor on perinatal and neonatal outcomes. The results of this study are expected to provide a basis to aid maternal and child health care personnel to implement health education for late childbearing women.

Methods

This was a retrospective observational study, wherein 9,241 parturients were included from 2016 to 2018. Parturients were divided into three groups based on age: <28 (n=2,911), 28-30 (n=3,631), and >30 (n=2,699) years. According to the total duration of labor, those who did not undergo cesarean section (CS) were subgrouped into <420 minutes (n=4,065) and ≥420 minutes (n=4,094) groups. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to investigate associations between age/total
