Abstract:
The Authors have studied 456 pregnancies on young women under the age of eighteen; this record was on 27.215 deliveries in ten years (1970-1979) at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the University of Parma. From 1970 to 1979 the number of adolescent in pregnancy has triplicated. It has been found that obstetric pathology was 45,25%: this was more in premature rupture of membranes, preeclampsia, premature delivery and urinary infections. The spontaneous delivery has been 90,35% of the total; premature delivery has ben 9,15%; low birthweight has been 9,19%. The incidence of malformations was 2,84%, while the perinatal mortality was 26,31%: the majority of this mortality was recorded after delivery.
