Teenagers obstetric performance.

Abstract

The younger teenage group (13 to 15 years) has been identfied as the high-risk group in this study but there was no significant difference in the pregnancy outcome of the teenagers (13 to 19 years old) in general compared with the control group. Attention must therefore be turned to the young teenagers pregnancy, labor and delivery. To avoid poor outcome in this age group, age at first pregnancy should be encouraged from 16 years and above.
