Perinatal Outcomes of Adolescent Pregnancy

OBJECTIVE:We performed a retrospective study to evaluate adolescent pregnancies as for gestational complications, and prinatal outcomes.METHODS:We evaluated 341 pregnants whose data we could reach regarding gestational, and perinatal complications.RESULTS:In our study group anemia (35.4%), preeclampsia/eclampsia (1.45%), premature membrane rupture (1.4%), intrauterine growth retardation (3.81%), and instrumental delivery (0.3%) were seen in indicated incidence rates.CONCLUSION:In our retrospective study, we found lower our complication rates in adolescent age group when compared with the adult age group, and other studies performed in adolescents. Since our hospital is a tertiary health care institute, and we monitorized our patients closely, our incidence rates can be better than those cited in the literature. As long as proper antenatal surveillance is employed, adolescent mothers do not seem to have increased risk for most of obstetric complications.

It is aimed to find out adolescent who are risky group approaches and awareness about adolescent marriages. Research was conducted with 847 high school students. There is a substantial amount of students among adolescent group which can be a public health problem of their own age group. The number of students whose parents made adolescent marriage is high compatibly to literature. Female students are less informed of this violation of right based on gender inequality such as adolescent marriages, effects of these marriages and inadequacy of adolescent mother. Especially adolescents' awareness should be increased with formal and non-formal education. It is significant for education and consultanting in fulfilling children rights, ensuring social sexual equality, improving social position and roles of women.This study supports messages for adolescents and provides suggestions for future interventions.

“…The World Health Organization (WHO) understands the adolescents to include persons aged [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19], and adolescent pregnancy is generally used to mean the gestation of girls between these ages. Early-adolescence might be considered as the ages of 10-14, and late adolescence encompasses the latter part of the teenage years including the ages of 15 -19 [1].…”
