“…10 According to another study by Masoumi et al PROM was seen in 22.9% vs 31.8% where this was more common in elderly cases with p= 0.002 and similarly pre term births were seen in 17.3% vs 27.8% of the cases of elderly pregnancy. 11 A study in India showed that the incidence of teenage pregnancy was 10%, which is similar to the present study. That study compared pregnancy outcome between women aged ≤19 years old and women aged 20 to 35 years.…”

“…The incidence of teenage pregnancies in our study was found to be comparable to the teenage pregnancy rate as reported by Srivastava S et al, 9 who reported teenage pregnancy rate to be 4.02%. Relatively low incidence of teenage pregnancy rates were reported by Kappeler EM et al 10 Mean age of the patients in studied cases was similar to the mean age of cases reported by Masoumi SZ et al, 11 (17.3 years) and DG Scolov et al, 12 (17.81 years). Similar mean age was reported by Landry E et al, 13 who reported it to be 17 years.…”

“…We also observed a linear relationship between maternal age and PROM, postpartum hemorrhage, and cesarean delivery. Pregnant women with AMA had a higher risk of PROM, postpartum hemorrhage, and cesarean delivery while those with YMA had a lower risk for these outcomes compared to 20-34-year-old women, which were in line with those of studies conducted in Iran [25] and other areas of China [6,10]. The increasing prevalence of GDM, gestational hypertension, preeclampsia and prior cesarean with aging may contribute to these trends [26,27].…”
