This paper presents the results of a control and case-study of 310 mothers aged under 20 years, whose deliveries occured in the first semester of 1996, in the Faculty Provincial Hospital "Carlos Manuel de Céspedes", Bayamo, Granma. Mothers, aged 20 years and more, in an equal number, were included in a control group. Different variables showing that 31.6 % of adolescents were less than 17 years-old, were studied. 14.20 % had deliveries before 37 weeks, being 38, 39 %, dystocias, mainly cesarean, and cephalo-pelvic disproportion, acute fetal distress and failed induction, are the most frequent diagnosis. In the study group, hypoxia, low birth weight, respiratory distress, infection, ictero and mortality, both fetal and neonatal, prevailed. Tables were made up, and the results were compared with other authors.
