Deshpande NA, et al. – The objectives of this study are to describe non–violent and violent trauma among pregnant women, to figure out if pregnancy is related to increased mortality following traumatic injury, and to identify risk factors for trauma–related death in pregnant women. The current study shows that pregnant women are nearly twice as likely to die after trauma and twice as likely to experience violent trauma. Universal screening for violence and trauma amid pregnancy may provide an opportunity to identify women at risk of death amid pregnancy.
