ABSTRACT

Objective: To determine the frequency and rate of maternal and fetal complications of pregnancy in adolescent girls in the General Hospital «Fernando Quiroz» during January-June 2008. Material and methods: We performed an observational descriptive cross-sectional, retrospective analysis of the patient population. Using non-probability sampling of consecutive cases, we included all the obstetric events resolved in the hospital among women under 20 years old. We analyzed the sociodemographic, clinical, pregnancy termination, and perinatal outcomes. Results: 373 cases of pregnancy were identified in women between 13 and 19 years of age. Of these, 25% were in observed in patients of under 16. There was moderate correlation (Pearson 0.72) between age at pregnancy and the onset of sexual activity. Of the total number of pregnancies, 12% resulted in spontaneous abortion and 30% were resolved by cesarean birth. The percentage of abortions was higher in women under 16 years, showing statistical significance. Maternal and fetal complications occurred in 9.5 and 12.3% respectively. Conclusions: In this sample there was no greater number of fetal and maternal complications in adolescent girls with exception of higher frequency of spontaneous abortion in women under 16 years.
