Summary:Tsu V D (Department of Epidemiology, University of Washington, Washington, Seattle, WA 98119, USA) Maternal height and age: risk factors for cephalopelvic disproportion in Zimbabwe. International Journal of Epidemiology 1992; 21: 941–947 Maternal age and stature are among several factors used to screen pregnant women for potential risk of labour complications. In a population-based case-control study in Harare, Zimbabwe, multivariate analysis was carried out to evaluate the importance of maternal age and height as risk factors for cephalopelvic disproportion (CPD). Using data abstracted from the medical records of 203 women with operative deliveries due to CPD and 299 women with normal unassisted vaginal deliveries, multiple logistic regression models were developed.
