The risk of early death beyond 12 years of age related to teenage pregnancies and gestational age.
By Pooja Toshniwal PahariaMar 15 2024Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent study published in JAMA Network Open, researchers examined the risk of early death beyond 12 years of age related to teenage pregnancies and gestational age.Background Teen pregnancy is a leading cause of mortality among young girls in the United States, with direct fatalities primarily due to bleeding, hypertension, or sepsis.
The researchers conducted the study between 1 April 1991 and 31 March 2022 in Ontario, including females aged 12 years with Ontario Health Insurance Plan eligibility. The team used Cox proportional hazards regressions to calculate the adjusted hazard ratios , including covariates such as birth year, comorbid conditions between the ages of 9 and 11 years, rurality, region-wise educational attainment, and income.
Females with adolescent pregnancies had a higher percentage of self-injury histories in the 12-to-19-year period than adolescents without , but not comorbid conditions, including those related to mental or physical health. The AHR values were virtually unaltered in an additional examination of all-cause mortality beginning at 20. After correcting for time-varied psychiatric health characteristics from the 12-to-19-year period, the AHR values showed slight attenuation but statistical significance after one adolescent pregnancy or two or more teenage pregnancies .
