Methods: 15-19 years of age (50 patients) and 20-23 years (96 patients) who gave birth at the Gynaecologi­cal and Obstetric Clinic under the Faculty of Medicine of Dicle University between January 2015-October 2015 were retrospectively evaluated. Age at birth, parity, blood pressure, pulse, gestational age, complications at birth, cesarean section indications, maternal biochemical pa­rameters, patients with preeclampsia and preterm birth, maternal and fetal complications were recorded. Results: Total number of births between January 2015- October 2015 were 1715 patients in our clinic. 62 of them (3.6%) were observed in the adolescent group. Maternal blood transfusion needs were found to be significantly higher in the adolescent group (p=0.004). Fetal abnor­malities and fetal intensive care needs were found to be significantly higher in the adolescent group (p=0.014, p=0.018). Conclusion: Adolescent pregnancies were high-risk pregnancies in terms of maternal anemia and blood transfusion requirements and because of adverse perina­tal outcomes. Therefore, to reduce the adolescent preg­nancy and to minimize perinatal complications should be done more extensive studies.}, number={2}, publisher={Dicle University}
