increasing maternal age & placental abruption risk

increasing maternal age & placental abruption risk Posted by nee P.

Dear Paul,

Want carification on MCQ in module- bleeding in pregnancy

The following are risk factors for placental abruption

Increasing maternal age- The answer in the module is FALSE....Explaination in TOG 13 is as follows so I m bit confused.

Obstetric complications in older mothers include
an increased risk of gestational diabetes,which over
the age of 40 years has an odds ratio (OR) of 2.4
(adjusted for race, parity and body mass index); placenta praevia (OR 2.8); abruption (OR 2.3);
caesarean section (OR 2.0); fetal growth restriction;
malpresentation; venous thrombosis; and
premature birth (Box 1).12–14 Chronic hypertension
and pre-eclampsia are, similarly,more common
with age.
