The authors have analysed the clinical characteristics of 117 cases of teenage pregnancy and their
122 newborn cases who were visited Pusan National University Hospital and Hae Sung Hospital from
January 1982 to August 1988.
The results were summarized as follows;
1) The youngest teenage mother was 14 years old, and below 17 years old was 28.2% and the
remainder were between 18 and 19 years old. The cases of married or premarital living with a partner
were 34.2% and the remainders were single or unknown cases, and the majority of which were below
17 years old. Antenatal care was done in only 17%, and the single or below 17 years old cases did not
receive antenatal care. The obstetric complications were occured in 15.4% of cases.
2) The rate of premature labor was 24.6% and the rate of low birth weight infants was 21.3% in
teenage pregnancy, and the younger the mother was, the higher the incidence was.
The stillbirth rate was 4.1% and the neonatal death was 9.8%, and the lower the gestational age
was, the higher the incidence was. In the cases of low birth weight infants, stillbirth and neonatal
death were as high as 42.3%, and the rate of low birth weight infant, stillbirth or neonatal death was
