Abstract

Conclusions: The burden of placental abruption is equal in nulliparae and multiparae, but risk factors vary substantially. Social disparity only affects the incidence of placental abruption among multiparous women, indicating that factors related to lifestyle and health behaviour have different effects on the parity groups.
