ABSTRACT Adolescent pregnancy rates are gradually increasing in the recent decades. As a reason of war nutritional difficulties, language differences and difficulty in applying to the health institution causes lack of prenatal care. As a reason of absence of prenatal care, associated medical complications can occur. 525 adolescent women who gave birth to singletons agreed to participate in this study. Data on maternal demographic and obstetric characteristics as well as neonatal outcomes were analyzed. In conclusion, adolescent pregnancy continues to be an important social problem due to the health support needs. However, the results of our present study are important in terms of showing that the perinatal care is quietly improved in Turkey.
