Study Design: It is a retrospective comparative study. Data were collected from Medical Records ofpatients during the period from January-December 2000. The total number of deliveries during that period was 10,999. 240 patients records were reviewed, 120 records in each group. Result: The incidence of great-grand multiparity was 1.09%. The incidence of lack of perinatal care among great grand multipara was statistically significant. However; there are no differences in the perinatal morbidity and mortality; also there was no difference in the rate of instrumental delivery and mal-presentation in the two groups. The duration of pregnancy is similar in the two groups. There was no difference in incidence of antepartum hemorrhage, rate of caesarean section rate. However; the only statically significant difference in the two groups was the increased incidence of large babies (macrosomia). Conclusion: This study showed that extreme grand multiparity carry the added risk of macrosomia (> 4000mg), this was not reflected on any adverse perinatal outcome. However, the number of patients in this study is limited and it is difficult to draw firm conclusion., UL https://www.qscience.com/content/journals/10.5339/qmj.2005.1.12
