Abstract
The objective of this retrospective study was to determine the incidence of teenage pregnancy and to compare pregnancy outcomes between teenagers and adults who delivered in Chaibadan Hospital, Lop Buri Province. The study group included singleton primigravida women aged 13-19 years who gave birth between October 1, 2003 and September 30, 2006. The comparison group consisted of singleton primigravidae, aged 20-29 years, who gave birth at the same hospital in that period. The study revealed that the incidence of teenage pregnancy was 20.77 percent; teenagers had a higher proportion of inadequate antenatal care (i.e., no ANC or ANC<4 times) compared with adult pregnant women. Preterm delivery was higher in the study group than in the control group. There was no statistically significant difference in obstetric complications, birth weight, stillbirth and Apgar score between the two groups.
