prevalence of teenage pregnancy and its maternal and fetal outcome in
comparison. </span><b><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Subjects</span></i> <i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">and</span></i> <i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">methods</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">:</span></b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> A retrospective analytical case-control study was conducted on patients who had
