The study group was further divided into a study subgroup of adolescents aged \u226417 years. Data were retrieved from the National Perinatal Information System in Slovenia for the period 2008\u20132012.

Spontaneous labour was more common in adolescents, while emergency and elective Caesarean sections were less common than in women aged 20\u201324 years. In addition, pregnancy in adolescents aged \u226417 years was associated with increased rate of maternal anaemia and labour without complications. Higher rates of smoking, lower rates of parenting school attendance, lower rates of pregnancy check-ups and screening tests in pregnancy such as nuchal translucency in adolescents were found.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"j_sjph-2017-0036_s_012_w2aab3b7c11b1b6b1aab1c18b4Aa\"><jats:title id=\"d52945e35107_w2aab3b7c11b1b6b1aab1c18b4aAa\">Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The results of the study show that adolescent pregnancy is related to higher health risks for pregnant adolescents and their newborns.
