To determine the rates of hydatidiform mole (HM) cases at extreme reproductive life in a developing country.
A descriptive study was performed to assess the number of pregnancies and deliveries in Turkey, from 1932 to 2000, based on nationally or internationally published data from different university and state maternity hospitals.
A spectrum of prevalence rates in different hospitals were depicted. Almost all of represented data were hospital-based. Percentages of all HM cases < 19 years old and > 40 years old compared to the total number of HMs in each study were not mentioned. In addition, the number of HM compared to total number of deliveries and pregnancies in those age groups were not provided in those studies.
There appears to be a need for further descriptive studies on a national basis, in regard to assess total number of HM cases per total pregnancies and deliveries for those age groups.
确定一个发展中国家极端生育年龄的葡萄胎（HM）病例发生率。
基于不同大学和国家妇产医院发表的国内或国际数据，进行了一项描述性研究，以评估1932年至2000年土耳其的妊娠和分娩数量。
描绘了不同医院的一系列患病率。几乎所有代表性数据均基于医院。每项研究中未提及19岁以下和40岁以上所有HM病例占HM总数的百分比。此外，这些研究未提供这些年龄组中HM病例数与分娩和妊娠总数的比较。
似乎需要在全国范围内进行进一步的描述性研究，以评估这些年龄组中每总妊娠和分娩的HM病例总数。
