Patients aged 40 years or more have been demonstrated to carry a favorable pregnancy and neonatal outcome, similar to younger patients. The risk of cesarean delivery was higher in patients with advanced maternal age, in nulliparous and in women with a previous cesarean section. The risk of preterm delivery was not related to age but it was strongly associated with gestational diabetes and pregnancy-induced hypertension.

Overall diagnostic agreement between prenatal and postnatal diagnosis of fetal intra-abdominal cystic lesions is high.

When single indication of induction of labor with prostaglandins is considered, advanced maternal age represents a significant independent risk factor for cesarean delivery.

Vaginal myomectomy is a safe and feasible surgical procedure if performed by a well-trained, experienced surgeon.
