Sažetak

Aim: Tto determine and compare the frequency of the risk of pregnancy and delivery outcome at the beginning and ending of reproductive age.
Methods: The study included 59 nulliparous adolescents younger than 18 years and 233 nulliparous women 35 years and older in the period of two years (2006-2007). Birth records and patient files were retrospectively analised and compared.
Results: In the primiparae of 35 years or more, medical interventions during pregnancy were higher, and the risk of chronic diseases which complicated their pregnancies increased (36,48% vs. 16,94, p<0,05). The incidence of cesarean section was statistically higher in pregnancies above 35 years (32,20% vs. 25,32 % p<0,01). Birth weight, APGAR scores and, incidence of premature birth, were not significantly different between groups.
Conclusion: Both adolescents and women of advanced reproductive age comprise distinct groups of obstetrics patients. Each has special needs and is susceptible to different obstetric risks. Nulliparous women of 35 years and older have higher risk of negative effect of age on their pregnancies.
