The overall pooled estimate indicates that women with advanced maternal age had a 1.58-fold higher risk of perinatal mortality. Even though this risk could also be increased with other comorbid diseases, it is important for healthcare providers and other concerned stakeholders to be aware of the increased risks associated with advanced maternal age and provide different intervention programs designed to create awareness and provide counseling services to couples who seek to have a child in their later ages about the risks of advanced maternal age pregnancy on perinatal mortality and other adverse pregnancy outcomes.
