Aim: This study was undertaken to evaluate the impact of grandmultiparity on obstetric outcome in a low resource setting.Material & Methods: Two hundred and eighty-two antenatal grandmultiparous women (parity >= 4) were compared with consecutive 564 antenatal women with parity 1-3.Results: There were 13 403 deliveries over the study period from Jan 2006-December 2008 at CSMMU, Lucknow. The prevalence of grandmultipara was 2.3%. Grandmultipara were older (P < 0.001) and more commonly from rural areas (P < 0.001) as compared to the control group. The percentage of Muslims among grandmultipara (23.8%) was higher than among controls (16.5%), P < 0.01. Grandmultipara had significantly higher prevalence of anemia (P < 0.001), malpresentation (P = 0.01) and rupture uterus (P < 0.001). Abruptio placenta, placenta previa and obstructed labor were seen more often in grandmultipara, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.01 in each group). There was no difference in terms of mode of delivery, sex of newborn or the prevalence of low birthweight (
