ABSTRACT: It is not always easy for a clinician to give a prognosis on a pregnancy diagnosed in a young woman because this profile has a very high morbidity before, during and after childbirth. The objective of this study is to describe the factors associated with adolescent cesarean delivery. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study with an analytical component over a period of 7 months, from February 2017 to August 2017 in the Kilwa Kasenga and Kashobwe health zones. We collected 332 parturients. The analyses were carried out with SPSS 20.0 software with a significance level p 34 cm, the breech and the intake guide (evacuated) were significantly associated with caesarean delivery in adolescents with respective Odds Ratio of 10.11 (CI: 2.46 to 41.40); 10.11 (CI: ?37.59 - 2.71) and 21.21 (CI: 5.43 - 82.79), and exposed teenage respectively 10.11; 10.11 and 21.21 times the caesarean sections. Adolescent birth is a serious morbidity; it must attract the attention of the clinician in a teenager referred with a significant uterine fundus, a pathological assessment of the pelvis.
