Objective: To analyze and compare perinatal outcomes of pregnant adolescent women and pregnant women in later age (between 20 and 34 years old) from data of a Live Born Information System.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out with data collected retrospectively of 18,009 live born infants from consults of data of a Live Born Information System. Registers of live born infants were distributed in three groups: group I (adolescents) - 10 to 19 years old; group II - 20 to 34 years old; and group III (later age) - 35 years or older.
Results: Findings showed that perinatal risks were related to prematurity (OR 1,35) and five-minute Apgar scores of less than seven (OR 1,44) among infants born to adolescent mothers.
Conclusion: Results pointed out high indexes of preterm birth in low-birth-weight infants and five-minute Apgar scores of less than seven in pregnancies that occurred in adolescents and in women 35 years and older.
