Maternal, fetal, and neonatal outcomes of pregnancies in adolescents and women of advanced age: ten-year experience of a tertiary referral center

Abstract

Purpose: Regarding changing trends in the policies affecting perinatal and neonatal care, there is a need to assess the stata of pregnancies in adolescents and women of advanced age with the term of ten years. We aimed to evaluate maternal, fetal, and neonatal outcomes of pregnancies in adolescents and women of advanced age during last decade in a tertiary referral center of Sivas province in central Anatolia. Methods: In this retrospective study, we collected the maternal and neonatal data from the hospital electronic records of 414 adolescents (10-19 years of age), 428 women of advanced age (≥40 years of age), and 150 pregnant controls (20-39 years of age) who delivered in the obstetrics unit of our tertiary referral center between 2011 and 2020. Results: Obstetric and fetal outcomes affected from women bearing children early or late stages in life. According to our results, rates of one or more parity, cesarean section, gestational hypertension, and acute fetal distress in the women of advanced age were significantly higher than those in the controls (p<0.05). The rates of one or more parity, cesarean section, gestational diabetes and >34 gestational weeks in the adolescents were significantly lower than those in the controls (p<0.05). Conclusion: Our findings support the improving perinatal and neonatal statistics of pregnancies in adolescents and women of advanced age (≥40 years). Nevertheless, there is a need further advancements in healthcare conditions and awareness of mothers and healthcare workers about pregnancy related morbidities and mortalities and applying educational and training programs.
