Abstract

Objective: To investigate the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes and caesarean section among adolescents in low‐ and middle‐income countries. Design: Secondary analysis using facility‐based cross‐sectional data from the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Survey on Maternal and Perinatal Health. Setting: Twenty‐three countries in Africa, Latin America, and Asia. Population: Women admitted for delivery in 363 health facilities during 2–3 months between 2004 and 2008. Methods: We constructed multilevel logistic regression models to estimate the effect of young maternal age on risks of adverse pregnancy outcomes. Main outcome measures: Risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes among young mothers. Results: A total of 78 646 nulliparous mothers aged ≤24 years and their singleton infants were included in the analysis. Compared with mothers aged 20–24 years, adolescents aged 16–19 years had a significantly lower risk of caesarean section (adjusted OR 0.75, 95% CI 0.71–0.79). When the analysis was restricted to caesarean section indicated for presumed cephalopelvic disproportion, the risk of caesarean section was significantly higher among mothers aged ≤15 years (aOR 1.27, 95% CI 1.07–1.49) than among those aged 20–24 years. Higher risks of low birthweight and preterm birth were found among adolescents aged 16–19 years (aOR 1.10, 95% CI 1.03–1.17; aOR 1.16, 95% CI 1.09–1.23, respectively) and ≤15 years (aOR 1.33, 95% CI 1.14–1.54; aOR 1.56, 95% CI 1.35–1.80, respectively). Conclusions: Adolescent girls experiencing pregnancy at a very young age (i.e. <16 years) have an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
