Overview

Prospective cohort study identifies domestic violence prevalence affects pregnancy outcomes in women, suggesting urgent need for screening.

Key Points

  • More than half of pregnant women in the study experienced domestic violence, predominantly psychological, impacting their health.
  • Women subjected to violence faced higher maternal complications, including hypertensive disorders and cesarean delivery rates (p < 0.05).
  • Statistical analysis revealed significant correlations between violence exposure and negative fetal outcomes such as low birth weight.
  • Highlights the necessity for routine screening and interventions at antenatal visits to protect vulnerable mothers and infants.
