in healthy old mothers with normal CTGs at term, APO is determined by low CPR, the existence of labor induction and low parity, while no real influence was observed for maternal age, fetal smallness, and interval examination-delivery. These results do not support the current consensus on induction at earlier weeks to prevent adverse outcomes in all cases of advanced maternal age, advocating for a more individualized, customized, and less interventional management based on fetal hemodynamics.
