Adolescence is a period of
psychological instability and immaturity of organs which may lead to risk
abortions and dystocia during childbirth. Early pregnancy is still an issue of
concern considering its adverse effects on adolescents’ health, education and
rights as well as the precarious prognostic of unborn children.
In Benin, adolescents account for
21% of total fertility. However, few studies had been dedicated to the issue.
This study aims to identify
the prognostic factors of pregnancy and childbirth in adolescents at CHDU-B
in Parakou. The study had been carried out in the gynecology and obstetrics
unit of the Borgou Regional University Teaching Hospital located in the town of
Parakou.
This research work involved the
nulliparous pregnant subjects bearing a single pregnancy and under 20 years of
age as regards adolescents and those aged 20 to 34 years as regards adults and
who accepted to participate to the study.
