“…Regarding the information about prenatal care, almost all women in the two extremes of age received prenatal care in this study, but a lower frequency of start of prenatal care in the first trimester and lower number of consultations occurred in the group of adolescent mothers, corroborating studies that reported that this age group seeks prenatal care at a later time, and thus, does not have complete and adequate care. 3 , 12 , 15 , 19 The higher number of consultations during pregnancy at the extremes of maternal age has been considered as a condition to reduce the incidence of maternal and fetal complications, especially in adolescence, as these pregnant women seek health care services less frequently. 1 , 3 , 12 , 15 , 20 …”

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the characteristics of infant mortality at the extremes of maternal age. METHOD: Retrospective, cross-sectional quantitative study using data from Live Birth Certificates, Death Certificates and from Child Death Investigation records in Londrina, Paraná, in the years of 2000-2009. RESULTS: During the 10-year study period, there were 176 infant deaths among mothers up to 19 years of age, and 113 deaths among mothers aged 35 years or more. The infant mortality rate among young mothers was 14.4 deaths per thousand births, compared to 12.9 deaths in the other age group. For adolescent mothers, the following conditions prevailed: lack of a stable partner (p<0.001), lack of a paid job (p<0.001), late start of prenatal care in the second trimester of pregnancy (p<0.001), fewer prenatal visits (p<0.001) and urinary tract infections (p<0.001). On the other hand, women aged 35 or more had a higher occurrence of hypertension during pregnancy (p<0.001), and of surgical delivery (p<0.001). Regarding the underlying cause of infant death, congenital anomalies prevailed in the group of older mothers (p=0.002), and external causes were predominant in the group of young mothers (p=0.019). CONCLUSION: Both age groups deserve the attention of social services for maternal and child health, especially adolescent mothers, who presented a higher combination of factors deemed hazardous to the child's health.

Aim: To analyze the access and reception of adolescent mothers in the parturition stage in obstetrics emergencies. Method: This is a descriptive study, with data collected through the interviewing and observation of twelve adolescent mothers, in the Sector of Obstetrics in a tertiary hospital of the public hospital network of the municipality of Fortaleza, Brazil. Results: The first category was the access that adolescent mothers had to a hospital unit, including the journeys that they made and the physical structure of the hospital. The second category was the reception that the adolescent mother received at the obstetric emergency. Discussion: This study observed the precariousness of the physical structure of secondary hospitals, which leads to mass transference of pregnant women to higher complexity hospitals. Some women reported positive feedback as a result of the cordial and affectionate attitudes of the professionals they encountered. Other women, however, commented on the lack of understanding amongst health managers and policymakers regarding their specific needs. Conclusion: Greater attention needs to be paid to adolescent mothers, especially during the delivery stage, where it is essential that genuine bonds are generated for the benefit of the parturients.

Aim:To identify the profile of precocious (under 16 years of age) and late pregnant adolescents (17)(18)(19) years) by comparing neonatal results. Method: This is a unique cohort in which potential confounders of a biological and socio-demographic nature were identified (p<0.05), with subsequent analysis of adverse neonatal results in both studied groups, using the chi-square test. Results: We identified differences in the workplace, first pregnancy, income, labor in the Unified Health System, and cohabitation with a partner. Low Apgar scores and respiratory disorders were more frequent in early adolescents. The need for resuscitation and admission to an intensive care unit did not differ between groups. Discussion: The studied adolescents revealed that they live in social risk. A relationship was found between Apgar scores and respiratory disorders in the fetuses of early adolescents. Conclusion: We suggest the need for investment to prevent pregnancy in this age group, and for prenatal care and skilled birth support, especially for precocious adolescents.
