MATERIAL AND METHODS: A Multi-Center Study Was Conducted In Kpk, Pakistan, From March 2021 To February 2022. All 14-18-Year-Olds Who Gave Birth In The Two Hospitals Had Obstetric Outcomes Compared To Non-Adolescent Women (19-36). Chi-Square And Students' T-Tests Were Used With A 0.05 Significance Level.
RESULTS: Teenage Mothers Were More Likely To Have Severe Anemia (7.5 Vs. 4.1%) And Chorioamnionitis (2.6 Vs. 0.6%) Than Non-Teenage Mothers, And Their Infants Were More Likely To Have Post Maturity (4.6 Vs. 1.8%) And Meconium Aspiration Syndrome (6.5 Vs. 2.4%). Teenagers Were Less Likely To Be Overweight Than Adults. Teens Are More Likely To Have Instrumental Births (7.1% Vs. 2.2%, P 0.01). Preterm Delivery, Low Birth Weight Infant, RDS, And Fetal And Perinatal Death Were Not Significantly Different Between The Two Groups.
CONCLUSION: Anemia And Chorioamnionitis Are More Common In Teenage Mothers. Teenagers Are More Likely To Use An Instrument. Adolescent Moms Often Have Babies With Post-Maturity And Meconium Aspiration Syndrome.
