Introduction: adolescence is a period of physical, psychological, and social maturation that extends between childhood and adulthood (10 to 19 years). The occurrence of teenage pregnancy is a high-risk situation about the complications associated with its outcome, the psychological and socioeconomic vulnerability of adolescents, and their anatomical and physiological immaturity. Objective: to analyze the problem and the outcome of adolescent pregnancy at the University Hospital Center of Brazzaville. Patients and Methods. Case-control study of women giving birth from January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2021, at CHU-B. Adolescents (< 20 years old) were compared to adults (≥ 20 years old). The variables studied were pre and per partum. Usual statistics and logistic regression were used to analyze the results. The probability p-value was deemed significant for a value less than 0.05. Results. The frequency of childbirth among adolescents was 14.28%. The teenagers were in secondary school (OR=5.44 [3.01-9.82]; p<0.05), with no remunerative activity (OR=78.0 [10.48580.3]; p<0.05), resident in the parents (OR=9.43 [4.69-18.95]; p<0.05), primigravida (OR=19.52 [9.69-39.34]; p<0, 05), unmonitored pregnancy (OR=3.97 [1.08-14.7]; p<0.05), caesarean section for mechanical dystocia (p>0.05). Conclusion. Teenage women in labor have unfavorable socio-demographic characteristics and are primigravidae. Antenatal care is of poor quality and starts late. Dystocia is the main indication for caesarean section.
