This article investigates the association between intimate partner violence (IPV) during a current pregnancy and severe maternal morbidity (SMM) among pregnant and postpartum women cared for in public maternity centers located in São Paulo, Brazil. A total of 109 women who developed SMM 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 (SMM) and the exposure variable (IPV) adjusted for the remaining independent variables was assessed through proportions, a chi-square 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 SMM (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 SMM. Systematic monitoring of SMM and routine screening of IPV among pregnant women are important measures to reduce maternal morbidity and mortality and to qualify reproductive health care.
