Methods:Facility based comparative cross-sectional study was conducted in West Gojjamzone public hospitals from April 30 –June 30, 2022 among 785 mothers (386 teenage and 399 adult).A systematic random sampling was used to select study participants. Data were collected using interview administered questionnaire.Both data entry and analysis was made using Epi-data version 3.1 and statistical product and service solution.Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression was used. Adjusted odds ratio with 95% CI used to measure the strength of association between explanatory variables and outcome variable.P- value<0.05 at multivariate logistic regression considered as statistically significant with adverse maternal outcome. Results:The proportion of adverse maternal outcome among teenage and adult mothers was 33 %( 95% CI, 28.2 - 37.4) and 22.1 %( 95% CI, 18-26.2) respectively. Similarly, proportion of preeclampsiaperineal tear and anemia were significantly higher in teenage mothers.Rural residence [AOR: 1.761 (95% CI, 1.189, 2.609)], late initiation of antenatal follow up [AOR: 1.749(95% CI, 1.226, 2.495)] and no attend complete antenatal visit [AOR: 1.671(95% CI, 1.040, 2.685) were also factors significantly associated with adverse maternal outcome.
