ABSTRACT

Objectives: The objectives of this work were to: 1) Calculate the delivery frequency of the large foetus with complications to teenagers; 2) Describe the epidemiological profile of these teenagers; 3) Identify the risk factors of the large foetus and to establish the maternal prognosis and foetus. Methodology: This was a prospective descriptive 6-month study performed at the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department of the Donka National Hospital, CHU of Conakry, Guinea. We chose a regular amplitude of one year and we got the following slices: 16 years, 17 years, 18 years. Results: We recorded 14.23% (801/5629) teenage deliveries of which 9.4% (75/801) deliveries are single fat fetus and 93.3% (70/75) of them developed complications. The epidemiological profile was that of an 18 years old teenager (61.4%), single (58.6%), professional (44.3%), out of school (57.1%), primiparous (68.6%), having performed 3 - 4 CPN (47.1%), coming from home (65.7%) and carrying a full term pregnancy (100%) and having delivered by high way medical assistance (52.9%). Risk factors were dominated by the male foetus (75.7%). Maternal morbidity was dominated by cervico-perineal tears 28.6%. The recorded maternal mortality was 4.3%. The 3 cases of maternal deaths were caused by the hemorrhage. The APGAR score at the first minute was in 51.4% between 4 and 6; at the 5th minute in 80% between 7 and 10. The most common foetal complication was acute foetal distress 44.3%. Foetal lethality was 12.8%. Conclusion: Here, we demonstrated the teenage pregnancy and macrosomia in this area. We did not show how we can improve this situation based on the data; however, describing this situation may be of use as a fundamental data to make a better antenatal checkup and teenager-education.
