Comparison of medical risks between adolescent and adult mothers.

Main Results:

Social programs demonstrate a positive effect on improving outcomes for adolescent pregnancies.
Adolescents exhibit a higher risk for preeclampsia, prematurity, and low birthweight.
Most other medical risks appear minimally influenced by maternal age alone.

Conclusions:

Targeted social interventions can significantly improve outcomes for adolescent pregnancies.
Preeclampsia remains a significant, yet poorly understood, risk factor in teen pregnancies.
Further research into preeclampsia etiology is needed to fully address risks in adolescent mothers.
