| description | Objective: We aimed to evaluate adolescent pregnancy rates and both maternal and perinatal adverse pregnancy outcomes in a secondary care public hospital. Methods: Maternal and perinatal pregnancy outcomes of pregnant women of adolescent age who applied to a secondary level public hospital between June 2018 and March 2021 were evaluated. The study was started with 1803 patients. After the exclusion criteria, the study was continued with 1753 patients. Results: When the parameters that are significant in the binary analysis are analyzed by logistic regression analysis; 2.13-fold the risk of preterm birth (CI: 1.319–4.625), 1.621-fold the risk of premature rupture of membranes (CI: 1.461–2.328), 2.412-fold the risk of low birth weight (CI: 2.894–4.297), and 1.768 fold the need for NICU (CI: 1.013–2.121) were observed to increase. Conclusion: Negative characteristics of adolescent pregnancies should also be taken into account while developing health policies in the coming years. Poor outcomes of adolescent pregnancies should be transferred to both healthcare professionals and society, and adolescent pregnancies should be reduced. |
