We sought to estimate levels of risk for stillbirth subtypes associated with twin gestations among pediatric mothers (10-14 years). Analysis was on twin pregnancies covering the period 1989 to 2000 in the United States. We classified stillbirth as term, preterm, small-for-gestational-age (SGA) or preterm-SGA. We then assessed the risks of these stillbirth subtypes in pediatric mothers using two comparison groups consisting of women aged 15 to 19 years old (adolescent mothers) and 20 to 24 years…

Young maternal age and risk of intrapartum stillbirth
TLDR
Teenagers are at an increased risk of stillbirth, with the greatest risk disparity occurring intrapartum, especially among younger teens, potentially useful for targeting intervention measures aimed at improving in utero fetal survival among pregnant women at the lower extreme of the maternal age spectrum.
Prenatal smoking among adolescents and risk of fetal demise before and during labor.
Maternal Age and Risk of Labor and Delivery Complications
TLDR
It is found that complications with the highest odds among women, 11–18 years of age, compared to 25–29 year old women, included preterm delivery, chorioamnionitis, endometritis, and mild preeclampsia.

Predictors and consequences of nonadherence to antihypertensive medication
TLDR
The aim of this study was to determine an empirically derived cut-off value between anti hypertensive prescription refills that predicts long-term discontinuation.

Past obstetric history and risk of perinatal death in Jamaica.
TLDR
The results indicated that prior poor obstetric history bears similar risks of subsequent adverse outcome in the developing as in the developed world.
Previous preterm and small-for-gestational-age births and the subsequent risk of stillbirth*
TLDR
Delivery of a previous small-for-gestational-age infant is an important predictor of the subsequent risk of stillbirth, particularly if the infant was delivered preterm.
Recurrent stillbirth. Significance and characteristics.
TLDR
Although recurrent stillbirth remains an unsolved problem, improving health care to specific groups within high-risk populations may reduce fetal loss.
Infant mortality among twins born to teenagers in the United States. Black-white disparity.
TLDR
Black-white disparity in infant mortality among twins occurred exclusively during the first 28 days of life rather than throughout infancy, and efforts to bridge the gap should preferentially target those twins who are small for gestational age.
Maternal smoking and adverse birth outcomes among singletons and twins.
TLDR
Some of the negative effects of smoking on low birthweight and preterm delivery are greater for twins than for singletons, and women carrying twins should be warned that smoking increases their already high risk of serious infant health problems.

Annual Summary of Vital Statistics—2003
TLDR
The crude birth rate rose slightly in 2003 to 14.1 births per 1000 population, from 13.9 in 2002, and the number of births to unmarried women all increased in 2003, while death rates in the United States continue to decline.

TLDR
To obtain better data, researchers must focus on improving fetal death reporting, which will entail the promotion of comprehensive autopsy, placental and laboratory evaluation, systematic vital records query procedures, and implementation of multiple-cause-of-fetal-death coding.
