Abstract
Adolescent pregnancies are associated with suboptimal maternal outcomes and increased morbidity (1). Evidence has shown an increased risk for 3rd and 4th degree perineal tears in adolescents. Moreover, the aforementioned incidence escalates when it is associated with instrumental delivery (2,3). However, in literature only primipara and occipitoposterior presentation variation seemed to be statistically significant risk factors (3). We sought to analyze if adolescent pregnancy by itself is a risk factor for perineal tears in comparison to non adolescent pregnant women.
