Gynecologic age is an important risk factor for obstetric and perinatal outcomes in adolescent pregnancies.

CONCLUSION: Low GA is associated with an increased rate of obstetric and perinatal complications in adolescent pregnancies. Although the main aim is the prevention of adolescent pregnancies, a detailed evaluation of such pregnancies including determination of the gynecological age together with a multidisciplinary approach may decrease potential complications.
