| Abstract | |
OBJECTIVE: to describe the characteristics of the pregnancy-puerperal cycle of hospitalized teenagers in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. METHODS: this is a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in five public and one private maternity hospitals over a three month period in 2011 with teenagers aged 10-19, through interviews and consulting medical records and antenatal care forms. RESULTS: 1,448 pregnant teenagers were included in the study. There were 71 miscarriages and 16 stillbirths. Nine of the 1,367 live births died. 23.5% had Caesarean sections. For the majority (79.8%) it was their first pregnancy, 11.7% reporting smoking, 8.8% alcohol use and 1.2% illicit drug use during pregnancy. The proportion of those aged 10-14 starting antenatal care in the third trimester of pregnancy (9.3%) was higher than among those aged 15-19 (3.3%). CONCLUSION: the results show the importance of the problem of teenage pregnancy and changes in their reproductive health care are recommended. (AU) | |
