Description:Purpose:
Experiencing childhood abuse (CA) or intimate partner violence (IPV) has been linked to adverse pregnancy outcomes. We examined whether CA history and IPV in the current pregnancy are independently and jointly associated with placental abruption (PA).
Methods:
We recruited 662 PA cases and 665 controls in Lima, Peru. We used multivariate logistic regression procedures to calculate odds ratios, adjusting for age, education, and parity.
Results:
Approximately 42% of cases and controls reported CA; 50% of cases and 49% of controls reported IPV. History of any CA was not associated with PA, but history of severe CA (>1 CA event; 25% of women) was associated with 38% increased odds of PA (aOR=1.38; 95%CI:1.07–1.80), adjusting for IPV. There was a small, statistically nonsignificant association between severe IPV (20% of women) and odds of PA (aOR=1.22; 95%CI: 0.92–1.62), adjusting for CA. Women who experienced severe CA and severe IPV had 2.06-fold (95%CI:1.25–3.40) increased odds of PA compared to women who did not experience severe abuse. The joint effect of CA and IPV was positive but statistically nonsignificant on the multiplicative (aOR=1.48; 95%CI: 0.79–2.80) and additive scale (RERI=0.70; 95%CI: −0.39–1.78).
Conclusions:
Efforts to prevent exposure to violence may improve maternal outcomes.
