Introducción: El embarazo adolescente se define como aquel que ocurre antes de los 19 años; muchos autores afirman que la adolescencia es un factor de riesgo para la morbimortalidad materna y neonatal; otros concluyen que el riesgo está ligado a su condición socioeconómica, más que a la edad misma. Objetivo: Determinar si la adolescencia es un factor de riesgo para complicaciones maternas y neonatales. Métodos: Estudio de casos y controles en un hospital de tercer nivel con muestra de 560 pacientes en una relación de 3 a 1, datos recogidos durante el periodo de noviembre de 2016 hasta julio de 2017; se recopilaron características sociodemográficas mediante encuesta (cuestionario semiestructurado) y revisión de historia clínica; con base en las variables significativas se generó un análisis bivariado y finalmente un multivariado por medio de una regresión logística. Resultados: Se evidenció que la adolescencia es factor de riesgo para trastornos hipertensivos del embarazo

Background: In populations with a history of conflict, early identification of pregnant women who are at risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes is challenging, especially if sonography is not available. We evaluated the performance of symphysis-fundal height (SFH) for identification of high-risk pregnancies and investigated if food security and diet quality, clinical biomarkers, and stress were associated with SFH and two known indicators of maternal-fetal well-being, sonography-estimated fetal weight and amniotic fluid index (AFI). Methods: For this cross-sectional study, 61 women with high-risk pregnancies were recruited after referral to the obstetrics and gynecology unit at San José Hospital in Popayán, Colombia. Multiple stepwise linear and ordered logistic regressions were used to identify associations of SFH, sonography-estimated fetal weight and AFI classification with history of displacement, food insecurity, post-traumatic stress symptoms as well as biopsychosocial risk evaluated through the Colombian risk scale. Results: History of displacement was associated with lower SFH Z-scores, but higher hemoglobin, taking iron supplements and a higher diastolic blood pressure were associated with higher SFH Z-scores. SFH was also associated with AFI but not with sonography-estimated fetal weight. Stress indicators were associated with a higher AFI. In contrast family support, an element of the Colombian biopsychosocial risk assessment, was associated with a higher sonography-estimated fetal weight, whereas more hours of sleep/day were associated with lower sonography-estimated fetal weight. Conclusion: SFH was not only associated with biological factors known to affect maternal/fetal health but also with history of displacement, thus validating its use in conflict areas for pregnancy assessment. Associations of biopsychosocial stressors with maternal-fetal outcomes highlight the need for a systematic assessment of stress in pregnant women from conflict zones.
