“…16 Births occurred between 37 to 42 weeks (80.9%) of which 94.5% in the control group and 67.1%, in the case group (or = 0.11; [0.05-0.27]; P = 0.000). These results corroborate with those of Iloki et al; Jérome; Geist et al stating that childbearing in adolescent girls is mostly at term (17)(18)(19) in contrary with authors like Mukhopadhyay et al; Omole-Ohosi et al; Thaithae et al, who have found more risk of premature birth in adolescent mothers. [20][21][22] The practice of episiotomy during vaginal birth prevented poor outcomes (or = 0.36; [0.180.71]; P = 0.001) as it was shown by Enyindah et al to prevent third degree and complete perineal tears.…”

“…The rate of assisted vaginal deliveries also varies in the previous literature, these studies show a higher rate instrumental delivery due to possibility of underdevelopment of female pelvis leading to cephalopelvic disproportion [24] [25]. Rate of instrumental delivery was found to be lower compared to previous literature in our study.…”

Objective: To evaluate the frequency of adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes in teenage pregnancies at secondary hospital Hyderabad. Methods: Retrospective record review was conducted between January 2012 to January 2016. Total No. of deliveries was 15,395 out of which No. of teenage was 452. Results: Rate of teenage pregnancy in our hospital during study period was 2.93%. Majority of women were uneducated. Teenage mother more likely to develop pregnancy induced hypertension 19.5%, frequency of mild, moderate, and severe anemia were reported to be 69.9%, 28.8% and 1.3% respectively. Conclusion: Fetal and neonatal outcome was not adversely affected. Teenage pregnancy outcome can be achieved favorable with good antenatal care.

“…Teenage pregnancies were almost always desired and these women are married. Also, because of traditional and religious thoughts, alcohol or substance abuse is almost unheard of (26). Sexual abuse pregnancies constituted a very small portion of all adolescents in our center; we therefore excluded this population due to there more likely being an effect on pregnancy outcomes.…”

Background: Young maternal age is variously defined in studies of its effect on obstetrics and perinatal outcomes. Also, pregnancy has been reported as the leading cause of death in adolescent girls in low-and middle-income countries. Aims: The aim of the study was to evaluate whether young maternal age was associated with an increased risk of obstetrics and perinatal adverse outcomes. Study Design: Case-control study. Methods: This case-control study was derived from a database of the medical records between January 2008 and December 2012. In the present study, 1374 teenage pregnancy and 1294 adult pregnancy cases were included. After restriction of analyses to singleton primiparous women, 1282 teenage pregnancy and 735 adult pregnancy cases were analyzed. Maternal age was separated into three groups: 15 and less, 16-19, and 20-34 years. Adjusted odds ratios (ORs) were derived through logistic regression models for the potential confounding factors. Results: Adolescents aged 15 years and younger had higher risks of preterm delivery, early preterm delivery, intrauterine fetal death and neonatal death compared with women aged 20 to 34 years after adjustment for confounding factors. In addition, both groups of adolescents had higher risks for anemia and episiotomy and lower risk of cesarean delivery. The rates of preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, chronic diseases, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) were higher in the adult group. Adolescent pregnancy is defined as pregnancy in girls aged less than 20 years. It is estimated that 16 million 15-19 yearold women give birth every year, accounting for approximately 11% of all births worldwide (1). In low-and middle-income countries, pregnancy has been reported as the main factor of death in adolescent girls (1). Young maternal age has usually been considered a high risk in relation to adverse pregnancy outcomes (1-16). Possible explanations for adverse pregnancy outcomes have been thought to be their biological immaturity or poor social, economic and behavioral factors such as smoking, alcohol/substance abuse, malnutrition and inadequate prenatal care (17-22). However, the previous studies had conflicting findings regarding whether the effect of young maternal age on adverse pregnancy outcomes were caused by their biological immaturity or poor social, economic and behavioral factors (17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22). ConclusionThe aim of the present study was to investigate whether there is an association between young maternal age and poor maternal and perinatal outcomes independent of possible confounding factors.
