Abstract:
The aim of the study is to analyze teenage pregnancy (births and abortions)
between 2007 and 2014. Pregnancy data regarding minor females were obtained
from the statistical department of the hospital. In total, data for 8 years referring
to 1,291 teenage mothers were included in the research. Additional analysis was
performed. Over the years considered, analysis has shown the number of births
increases with increasing age. We identified a relatively constant number of births
among adolescents and a constantly decreasing number of abortions at all ages,
considering both rural and urban subjects. A number of 64 teenagers have been
registered with 2 births under the age of 18; 35 of the patients become mothers for
the second time in the very next year. The most important variable in this case is
the environment, the number of cases from rural areas being 5 times higher than
that in urban areas. The higher rate of pregnancy among teenagers exhibits a
constant rate over the years. The decreasing number of abortions could be related
to the constantly promoted programs in schools and colleges in the last years
throughout the country. The increasing rate of births in rural areas could be
related to socioeconomic aspects and the lower rate of access to education in this
area.
