Summary
This retrospective observational study was designed to study the impact of a dedicated antenatal clinic service on obstetric and neonatal outcomes among teenage mothers in the maternity unit of a district general hospital in the UK. Outcomes were measured to investigate improvement in obstetric and neonatal outcomes before, and 12 months after the establishment of dedicated clinic for teenage pregnant women. Significant improvement in the birth weight was observed p = 0.01. A modest decrease in neonatal admission to special care unit by 6% was observed. Rate of spontaneous vaginal deliveries increased p = 0.0009. There was significant uptake of contraception and continuation of breast-feeding in this group of young women (p < 0.0001).
