SAEZ CANTERO, Viviana. Pregnancy and adolescence: Perinatal results . Rev Cubana Obstet Ginecol [online]. 2005, vol.31, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3062.
A retrospective case-control study was conducted aimed at knowing the perinatal results among the adolescents attended at “Clodomira Acosta Ferrales”, in Havana City, from January 1st, 1999 to March 31st, 2000. The study group (184 adolescents) was compared with a control group composed of pregnat women aged 20-24 (n = 439) that received attention in this center in the same period of time. Gestational age, mode of delivery, weight and Apgar score of the infant were some of the data collected by a survey done to this end. These data were processed by using the SPSS computerized statistical system. The results were showed in graphs. The most significant were the highest frequency of instrumental delivery and the asphyxial infants among the adolescents. It was concluded that in spite of the specialized care, early pregnancy is still a risk factor for obtaining unfavorable perinatal results.
