About 11% of births worldwide are by adolescents aged between 15 and 19 years and middle- and low-income countries account for more than 90% of these births. Despite the downward trend in international adolescent pregnancy rates, 10 million unplanned adolescent pregnancies occur annually. Adolescents are also at increase risks of poor obstetric outcomes including preterm delivery, low birth weight, eclampsia, postpartum hemorrhage, anemia, and infant, as well as maternal morbidity. Important additional considerations include increased risk of depression, poor social support, and the need for a multidisciplinary approach to their obstetric care. We look to highlight both the unique socioeconomic and medical factors to consider when caring for these patients and demonstrate that these factors are intertwined.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0041-1734020","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,10]],"date-time":"2021-08-10T18:57:00Z","timestamp":1628621820000},"page":"098-106","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Complications of Pregnancy in Adolescents"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"40","author":[{"given":"Logan","family":"Todhunter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Rochester, Rochester, New York"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Megan","family":"Hogan-Roy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Rochester, Rochester, New York"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2556-9290","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eva K.","family":"Pressman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Rochester, Rochester, New York"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,10]]},"reference":[{"issue":"S 01","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"40","DOI":"10.1111\/1471-0528.12630","article-title":"Pregnancy and childbirth outcomes among adolescent mothers: a World Health Organization multicountry study","volume":"121","author":"T Ganchimeg","year":"2014","journal-title":"BJOG"},{"key":"ref2","volume-title":"WHO Guidelines on Preventing Early Pregnancy and Poor Reproductive Health Outcomes Among Adolescents in Developing Countries","author":"World Health Organization","year":"2011"},{"issue":"02","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"223","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jadohealth.2014.09.007","article-title":"Adolescent pregnancy, birth, and abortion rates across countries: levels and recent trends","volume":"56","author":"G Sedgh","year":"2015","journal-title":"J Adolesc Health"},{"issue":"02","key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"98","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpag.2011.09.004","article-title":"Pregnancies in young adolescent mothers: a population-based study on 37 million births","volume":"25","author":"O T Malabarey","year":"2012","journal-title":"J Pediatr Adolesc Gynecol"},{"key":"ref5","volume-title":"Core Competencies in Adolescent Health and Development for Primary Care Providers","author":"World Health Organization","year":"2015"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.15620\/cdc:104993","volume-title":"Births: Provisional Data for 2020.
