IMPORTANCE Over the past 2 decades, there has been a trend toward increasing maternal age in many high-income countries. Maternal age may lead to greater attendant morbidity and mortality for Canadian mothers. OBJECTIVE To investigate the association of maternal age, adjusting for patient-level and hospital-level factors, with severe maternal morbidity (SMM) and maternal death in Canada. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS A nationwide population-based cohort study of all antepartum, peripartum, and postpartum women and adolescents seen at Canadian acute care hospitals from April 1, 2004, to March 31, 2015. All analyses were completed on September 13, 2018. EXPOSURES Maternal age at the index delivery. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Severe maternal morbidity and maternal death during pregnancy and within 6 weeks after termination of pregnancy. RESULTS During the study period, there were 3 162 303 new pregnancies (mean [SD] maternal age, 29.5 [5.6] years) and 3 533 259 related hospital admissions. There were 54 219 episodes of SMM (17.7 cases per 1000 deliveries) in the entire study period, with a 9.8% relative increase from 20042005 to 2014-2015, in addition to an increasing proportion of pregnancies to older mothers. Independent patient-level factors associated with SMM included increasing Maternal Comorbidity Index; maternal age 19 years or younger and 30 years or older, with the greatest risk experienced by women 45 years or older (odds ratio [OR], 2.69; 95% CI, 2.34-3.06 compared with maternal age 20-24 years); and lowest income quintile (OR, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.14-1.22 compared with highest income quintile). Hospital-level factors associated with SMM included specific provinces. Independent patient-level factors associated with maternal mortality included increasing Maternal Comorbidity Index, age 40 to 44 years (OR, 3.39; 95% CI, 1.68-6.82 compared with age 20-24 years), age 45 years or older (OR, 4.39; 95% CI, 1.01-19.10 compared with age 20-24 years), and lowest income quintile (OR, 4.14; 95% CI, 2.03-8.50 compared with highest income quintile). Hospital-level factors associated with maternal mortality included lowest hospital pregnancy volume. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In Canada, maternal age and SMM have increased over the past decade. Results of this study suggest that province of residence, maternal comorbidity, residence income quintile, and extremes of maternal age, especially those 45 years or older, were associated with SMM and mortality. These findings are relevant to prospective parents, their health care team, and public health planning.
