Popis: To evaluate whether advanced maternal age (35-39 years, AMA)/very advanced maternal age (≥40 years, VAMA) impacts neonatal outcomes of very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants.Data of VLBW infants admitted to our unit were reviewed. Demographic findings and neonatal outcomes were compared among maternal age [(35 years, not advanced maternal age,Mortality and overall morbidities showed no significant intergroup differences, except for massive pulmonary hemorrhage (MPH). Multivariate analysis revealed that AMA/VAMA was not significantly associated with MPH development, while ≥ two doses of surfactant administration was. Higher gestational age and antenatal corticosteroid administration were protective.AMA/VAMA is not associated with neonatal mortality and morbidities. Since the proportion of AMA/VAMA mothers is expected to increase, perinatal medicine practitioners should focus on approaches before and immediately after birth of such infants.
