Aim: This study was aimed to compare the maternal and neonatal outcomes among teenage and reproductive-age pregnancies.
Patients and methods: This was a cross-sectional study of pregnant mothers in Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, the tertiary referral hospital in West Java, Indonesia. Patients who gave birth during January 2015-December 2018 were included and divided into two groups (teenage and reproductive-age pregnancy). Their medical record data then were evaluated to compare both maternal and neonatal outcomes.
Results: The incidence of teenage pregnancy was 10.05%. A total of 3810 patients were recruited. The teenage mothers were 522 subjects and reproductive-age mothers were 3288 subjects. The incidence of eclampsia (5.2% vs 1.9%, p<0.001), anaemia (18.4% vs 14.9%, p=0.040), and preterm delivery (27.2% vs 18.6%, p<0.001) were more frequent in teenage pregnancies. Teenage mothers also had a higher percentage of low-birth-weight babies (42.3% vs 36.2%, p=0.007).
Conclusion: Teenage pregnancies also had a higher risk of eclampsia, anaemia, preterm delivery, and having low-birth-weight babies. More efforts to prevent teenage and high-risk pregnancy are needed, especially in rural areas.
