In total, 13,210 women were included in the study, of whom 840 were teenagers (&lt;19 years) and 12,370 were &gt; 20 years. Antepartum, intrapartum and postpartum events were recorded and comparative analysis was done. We found that teenage women were at a significantly higher risk for development of severe anaemia (relative risk [RR] 1.61, P value &lt; 0.02), eclampsia (RR 1.95, P value &lt; 0.05), preterm labour (RR 1.25, P value &lt; 0.001), intrauterine growth retardation (RR 2.29, P value &lt; 0.001) and low birth weight (RR 1.24, P value &lt; 0.001). Assisted delivery (11.78% versus 2.23%, P value &lt; 0.001) was significantly more common and caesarean delivery (9.64% versus 17.18%, P value &lt; 0.001) was significantly less common in teenagers. Moderate anaemia, mild pregnancy-induced hypertension, preeclampsia, premature rupture of membranes, antepartum haemorrhage and post dates were all significantly higher in \u2265 20 years group. To conclude, we found that teenage women are a high-risk group, which is aggravated by social and cultural factors. Special attention is required to educate these women for more positive outcomes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/004947550703700208","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,17]],"date-time":"2017-07-17T19:05:48Z","timestamp":1500318348000},"page":"85-88","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Teenage pregnancies and their obstetric outcomes"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"S S","family":"Trivedi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Lady Hardinge Medical College and Shrimati Sucheta Kriplani Hospital, New Delhi 110001, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shikha","family":"Pasrija","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lady Hardinge Medical College and Shrimati Sucheta Kriplani Hospital, New Delhi 110001, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,4,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-004947550703700208","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1989.03430010086036"},{"key":"bibr2-004947550703700208","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199504273321701"},{"key":"bibr3-004947550703700208","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mob.2002.123986"},{"key":"bibr4-004947550703700208","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0368-2315(04)96310-7"},{"key":"bibr5-004947550703700208","first-page":"864","volume":"22","author":"Mesleh RA","year":"2001","journal-title":"Saudi Med J"},{"key":"bibr6-004947550703700208","first-page":"197","volume":"89","author":"Sarkar CS","year":"1991","journal-title":"J Indian Med Assoc"},{"key":"bibr7-004947550703700208","first-page":"52","volume":"41","author":"Verma V","year":"1997","journal-title":"Indian J Public Health"},{"key":"bibr8-004947550703700208","first-page":"559","volume":"42","author":"Berenson A","year":"1997","journal-title":"J Reprod Med"},{"key":"bibr9-004947550703700208","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-9378(84)90602-1"},{"key":"bibr10-004947550703700208","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s004040000121"},{"key":"bibr11-004947550703700208","first-page":"209","volume":"91","author":"Connolly G","year":"1998","journal-title":"Ir Med J"},{"key":"bibr12-004947550703700208","first-page":"14","volume":"53","author":"Ambadekar NN","year":"1999","journal-title":"Indian J Med Sci"},{"key":"bibr13-004947550703700208","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/13625180008500379"},{"key":"bibr14-004947550703700208","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0029-7844(96)00007-5"}],"container-title":["Tropical Doctor"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/004947550703700208","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/004947550703700208","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,1]],"date-time":"2026-05-01T13:28:15Z","timestamp":1777642095000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/004947550703700208"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2007,4]]},"references-count":14,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2007,4]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/004947550703700208"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/004947550703700208","relation":{},"ISSN":["0049-4755","1758-1133"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0049-4755","type":"print"},{"value":"1758-1133","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2007,4]]}}}
