Intimate partner violence and severe maternal morbidity among pregnant and postpartum women in São Paulo, Brazil J Hum Growth Dev. 2018; 28(2) Open acess AbstractThis article investigates the association between intimate partner violence (IPV) during a current pregnancy and severe maternal morbidity severe maternal morbidity among pregnant and postpartum women cared for in public maternity centers located in São Paulo, Brazil. A total of 109 women who developed Severe maternal morbidity were selected according to criteria adopted by the World Health Organization (WHO). Another 337 women who did not experience any clinical, laboratory or management intercurrences during a current pregnancy and postpartum were selected for the control group. The participants were submitted to a retrospective investigation of IPV using an instrument adapted from the WHO Multi-country Study on Women's Health and Domestic Violence against Women, applied between November 2010 and June 2011. The relationship between the response variable severe maternal morbidity and the exposure variable (IPV) adjusted for the remaining independent variables was assessed through proportions, a chisquare test, a Fisher's exact test, and multiple logistic regression. A prevalence of 12.6% (CI:9.5-15.7) for psychological violence, 7.6% (CI:5.1-10.1) for physical violence and 1.6% (CI:0.4-2.8) for sexual violence were observed during a current pregnancy in both the case and control groups. Although no statistical significance was found between IPV exposure during a current pregnancy and the occurrence of Severe maternal morbidity (p>0.264), we identified factors associated with unfavorable socio-demographic and reproductive conditions in both the women exposed to IPV and those who developed Severe maternal morbidity. Systematic monitoring of Severe maternal morbidity and routine screening of IPV among pregnant women are important measures to reduce maternal morbidity and mortality and to qualify reproductive health care.Keywords: intimate partner violence, battered women, severe acute maternal morbidity, pregnancy complications, maternal health.

Pregnancy by itself imposes great physical and psychological pressures on a woman and consequently, coupled with other stressors such as violence, can have adverse effects on the fetus and mother. Objectives: To identify the association of physical domestic violence with unfavorable feto maternal outcome. Study Design: Observational Cross Sectional Review. Setting: Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Unit 4 at Liaquat University Hospital Hyderabad. Period: Six months from June 2017 to December 2017. Material & Methods: All pregnant females admitted in department of OBS and Gynae for various obstetrical and gynaecological problems because of bodily domestic violence. Results: Overall 196 pregnant females were selected in review, mean age was 26.32±4.36 yrs. On assessment of maternal outcome females were presented as; preterm labor in 34.2% females, Antepartum hemorrhage in 25.5%. On fetal outcome Miscarriage in 31.1%, intrauterine mortality (IUD) in 15.3%, Stimulated miscarriage in 12.8%, intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) in 12.8%, Neonatal mortality (NND) in 9.2% & Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission was seen in 18.9% cases. It was found that the age, socio-economic status, maternal education, occupational status, education of husband, addiction of husband, parity, physical and psychological forms of violence, marriage duration, were significantly associated with maternal and fetal outcome (p value < 0.05) due to bodily domestic violent behavior. Conclusion: We concluded that domestic violence during the course of pregnancy has been identified as being a significant factor affecting health of mother and fetus.

ObjectivesTo describe the prevalence status of violence and its prevention in China, and to provide reference for the development of strategies regarding violence prevention.MethodsViolence mortality data between 2006 and 2015 were obtained from the national disease/death surveillance data set in 2006–2015. Data on violence-related medical cases were collected from the 2015 National Injury Surveillance System. The laws and policies about violence prevention and violence prevention programmes in China were described.ResultsViolence mortality declined by 57.02% during 2006–2015 from 1.21/100 000 to 0.52/100 000. Violent death rate in males peaked in the age group 25–29 years (1.05/100 000) and it was low in the age group <15 years. Female violence mortality rate peaked during infancy (0.54/100 000), aged 25–29 (0.53/100 000) and age above 85 (0.98/100 000). The laws and policies about violence prevention were more perfect, while most prevention programmes were limited in scale and duration.ConclusionsThe mortality of violence declined in China during 2006–2015. It is necessary to conduct gender-specific prevention strategies and improve the data collection and prevention service.
