Adverse perinatal outcomes and associated factors among mothers of advanced age at a tertiary hospital, Southwestern Uganda: a cross-sectional study

Approximately 1 out of every 10 advanced-aged mothers surveyed experienced a poor perinatal outcome, with mothers who had prolonged labor or history of abortions having increased odds of the poor perinatal outcomes. We recommend strengthening close monitoring of labour and timely interventions to reduce adverse perinatal outcomes including early neonatal deaths.
