(Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand. 2023;102(11):1459–1468. doi: 10.1111/aogs.14659) Many studies have shown that socioeconomic factors have large impacts on many areas of life including education, unemployment, housing security, nutrition, and reduced access to health care. In addition, low-socioeconomic indicators have been linked to pregnancy complications for both mother and neonate and have persisted even in areas with universal health care systems. However, other studies have shown an absence of association with socioeconomic status for outcomes such as low birthweight and preterm birth. Previous literature has suggested that assessing individual-level socioeconomic factors and their association with pregnancy outcomes may provide better understanding than area-based analysis. This study was designed to evaluate associations of individual-level socioeconomic factors (education, employment, relationship status, and income) with adverse pregnancy and neonatal outcomes (gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, emergency cesarean delivery, preterm birth, post-term delivery, small for gestational age, and Apgar score).
