[Complications during the neonatal period in newborns of adolescent mothers].
In 1990-1992 64 female and male newborns born by adolescent mothers were examined in Obstetrics Clinic of Pomeranian Medical Academy in Szczecin. There were analysed such factors as sex, gestational age, birth weight, clinical condition of newborns after birth, Apgar scores, frequency of perinatal trauma. It was observed that the percentage of prematurity, complications in neonatal adaptation, perinatal trauma and infections were significantly higher in the examined group. It was found that newborns from adolescent mothers formed a high risk group with neonatal complications. In consequence a great number of disorders can be expected in the postnatal development of newborns.
