Abstract :Summary Objective: In this study, we aimed to compare the results of adolescent pregnancies, which we think is a big problem for our country, with young and adult pregnant women. Material and Method: We included 15705 individuals in our retrospective cohort study. In our study, the adolescent pregnant group was 5235 people, the young adult group was 5235, and the adult group was 5235. We conducted the study at a tertiary center between January 2012 and April 2022. Before starting the study, we received the ethics committee approval of our institution, numbered KAEK/2022.04.109. We complied with the Declaration of Helsinki at all stages of the study. In the study, we compared the demographic data of the groups with the maternal and fetal outcomes of pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum. We performed a One-Way Analysis of Variance insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ANOVA); to compare group means. We used odds ratio calculation to determine risk ratios between groups. We used SPSS for Windows 24.0 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA); for the analyses. We presented the data as mean, standard deviation, and ratio and considered them statistically significant when the P value was less than 0.05. Result: Our study observed that the risk of having PROM in adolescent pregnant women increased approximately two times compared to adult pregnant women insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(aOR=01.987, 95%Cl=1.197-2454, p=0.001);. When we researched the IUGR results, we found that the risk increased approximately two times in adolescent pregnant women insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(aOR=2.129, 95%Cl=1.754-2.947, p<0.0001);. Conclusion: It is understood from the study that all adverse events related to pregnancy increase in adolescent pregnancy. For this reason, although preventing adolescent pregnancies is impossible, the follow-up of these pregnancies should be done more frequently and carefully than routinely.
