TL;DR: The results indicate that all teenagers should not be grouped together when their obstetric outcomes are compared with those of adults, and the slight differences observed in different reports might be due partly to racial characteristics and regional differences in the risk factors influencing teenage pregnancies.
Abstract: Our study did not show a higher rate of obstetric complications in teenagers than in 20-29-year-old mothers. Our results also indicate that all teenagers should not be grouped together when their obstetric outcomes are compared with those of adults. The slight differences observed in different reports might be due partly to racial characteristics and regional differences in the risk factors influencing teenage pregnancies. These risk factors include intention to become pregnant smoking during pregnancy low educational attainment of teenage mothers and lack of appropriate prenatal care. In our country because of the national and religious culture unintended pregnancies reaching delivery are quite rare smoking is not common among teenage females and family support for pregnant teenagers is similar to that of older mothers and is often good.

TL;DR: Too little attention is paid to the management of patients in the terminal stages and to the peculiar difficulties they and their families face, and this failure is one of the important deficiencies of medical education to-day.
Abstract: In a limited way we have attempted to look at some of the social, medical, and nursing problems faced by women dying of pelvic cancer. From our base in a large teaching hospital we have looked outwards into the community we serve, but we are aware of our limitations and realize that others in closer and more continuous contact with patients in their homes could add much to what we have to say. We hope that they will be stimulated to do so. On the whole our study leaves us with a sense of uneasiness. Compared with the costly and detailed investigation and treatmients carried out initially in hospital we believe that too little attention is paid to the management of these patients in the terminal stages and to the peculiar difficulties they and their families face. Hardship for patients and their relatives could be eased if more beds of the right type were made available. We can see little point in patients with terminal cancer occupying beds in large, expensive hospitals; quite apart from cost, we have known some of these patients to be intensely lonely in the middle of a busy acute ward. Beds for these cases are better sited in small local or cottage hospitals where family doctors can give the necessary supervision. We think it a pity that medical students do not have the chance to follow this type of patient out of hospital into the home so that they can observe, over a period, the harrowing preliminaries to death. There is so much for the student to learn about how to deal with patients and their relatives under stress, about the various agencies that can be called upon for help, and about the measures that can be taken to relieve pain and distress. These are matters of the greatest importance to all who practise medicine. But teaching hospitals have identified themselves with the management of acute illness rather than with the care of the chronically ill and the dying, and there is little opportunity for students to see or appreciate the sort of problem we have studied over the past three years. This failure is one of the important deficiencies of medical education to-day.
