Abstract
Objective: In this study, our aim is to compare discussing maternal and fetal problems non-adolescent pregnancy with maternal and fetal problems in adolescent pregnancy that seen in hospital. Methods: 15-19 years of age (50 patients) and 20-23 years (96 patients) who gave birth at the Gynaecological and Obstetric Clinic under the Faculty of Medicine of Dicle University between January 2015-October 2015 were retrospectively evaluated. Age at birth, parity, blood pressure, pulse, gestational age, complications at birth, cesarean section indications, maternal biochemical parameters, patients with preeclampsia and preterm birth, maternal and fetal complications were recorded. Results: Total number of births between January 2015- October 2015 were 1715 patients in our clinic. 62 of them (3.6%) were observed in the adolescent group. Maternal blood transfusion needs were found to be significantly higher in the adolescent group (p=0.004). Fetal abnormalities and fetal intensive care needs were found to be significantly higher in the adolescent group (p=0.014, p=0.018). Conclusion: Adolescent pregnancies were high-risk pregnancies in terms of maternal anemia and blood transfusion requirements and because of adverse perinatal outcomes. Therefore, to reduce the adolescent pregnancy and to minimize perinatal complications should be done more extensive studies. Key words: Adolescent, pregnancy, maternal outcomes, fetal outcomes
