title: [Pregnancy in adolescents].
abstract: The course of pregnancy to patients aged 16 and under during 1957 to 1961 and 1967 to 1973 is reported. There is an increasing number of pregnancies in these groups of adolescent girls. The frequency of delivery has not changed but the number of abortion has become more important. This fact and the complication by a substantially higher frequency of gestosis and by a tendency to premature delivery causes the pregnancy in young girls as a high risk pregnancy which needs intensive care.
