Abstract

Introduction: Incomplete abortion has various implications for the future of young mothers. Besides the pregnancy interruption, conceiving during youth entails higher risks and correlates with adverse outcomes in completed pregnancies. Some studies associate teenage pregnancies with hypertension and childbirth outcomes with preeclampsia, among other complications. Objective: To determine the prevalence of complications related to incomplete abortion in adolescents aged 11-19 years at the General Hospital Monte Sinai during the period from 2020 to 2023. Methodology: This was a descriptive, retrospective, observational, and cross-sectional study conducted in the hospitalization area of the General Hospital Monte Sinai (GHMS) from 2020 to 2023. Results: Among the variables analyzed, it was found that out of the 94 patients studied, 42.5% experienced some type of gynecological-obstetric complication. The most prevalent age group was adolescents between 14 and 16 years old (61.7%), the majority had completed primary education (70.2%), and were single (90.4%). Abortions occurred between weeks 9 to 16 (76.6%), the vast majority were primigravida (94.7%) without pathological antecedents (88.3%), where spontaneous abortion was predominantly recorded (95.7%). The most frequently registered complication was postpartum hemorrhage (24.5%).
