To compare the obstetric outcome of teenage pregnancies with that of older women. <jats:italic>Methods.<\/jats:italic> Retrospective chart review of singleton births \u226524 weeks\u2019 gestational age at the American University of Beirut from 1994 to 2003. Adolescents (&lt;20 years) were compared to subsequently delivered women aged 25\u201330 years (controls), <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 486 each. <jats:italic>Results.<\/jats:italic> Only 131 (27.0%) adolescents were &lt;18 years. More adolescents were nulliparous (79.8 versus 17.9%; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>&lt;0.0001). Preterm delivery &lt;37 but not &lt;34 weeks occurred more frequently in cases (11.1 versus 5.8%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.004). Pre\u2010eclampsia was more commonly encountered (2.9 versus 0.6%; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.012) and mean predelivery haematocrit was lower in cases (30.6\u00b13.3 versus 33.8\u00b14.3%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>&lt;0.001), but the incidence of gestational diabetes, placenta previa, abruptio placentae, breech presentation, or meconium\u2010stained amniotic fluid were similar. Caesarean delivery was performed less frequently in cases (9.2 versus 14.0%; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.028), but primary caesarean and operative vaginal delivery rates were similar though vacuum was used more frequently in multiparous controls (0.2 versus 2.7%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.011). Nulliparous cases had shorter first and second stages of labour (384\u00b1304 versus 524\u00b1339 min, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>&lt;0.0001 and 47\u00b136 versus 63\u00b150 min, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.002), respectively. Mean birth weight was higher in controls (3177\u00b1567 versus 3284\u00b1511 g, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>&lt;0.001), but intrauterine growth restriction, birth weight &lt;2500 g, low Apgar scores, intrauterine fetal death, and stillbirths were similar in both groups. <jats:italic>Conclusions.<\/jats:italic> Adolescents are more likely to deliver preterm than older women, and are more likely to suffer from anaemia and pre\u2010eclampsia. Nulliparous adolescents have a quicker progress of labour while multiparous adolescents require vacuum less frequently compared to their older counterparts. In most other respects, they have comparable maternal and perinatal morbidity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1080\/00016340701803282","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,1,29]],"date-time":"2008-01-29T12:56:51Z","timestamp":1201611411000},"page":"178-183","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":36,"title":["Obstetric
