Abstract

CONTEXT: Violence against women is a major public health problem and a violation of their human rights. Intimate partner violence (IPV) during pregnancy has been linked to various adverse maternal health outcomes and birth outcomes. AIMS: The aim of this study is to assess the magnitude of maternal complications and adverse birth outcomes in relation to IPV. SETTINGS AND DESIGN: Prospective observational study was conducted from April 2015 to May 2018 in the antenatal clinic of a Tertiary Care Hospital in Delhi. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Sample of 1500 pregnant women (≤20 weeks gestation) were recruited and followed up at regular intervals, up to the birth outcome. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED: < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The findings reveal that IPV during pregnancy is common and significantly associated with adverse maternal and birth outcomes. The findings stress need for research and development of a screening tool to identify violence early in pregnancy and thus prevent its consequences.
