The association of iSUA to adverse outcome of pregnancy has not been consistently reported, and whether iSUA carries increased risk of third stage of labor complications has not been studied. We aimed to investigate the risk of adverse perinatal outcome, third stage of labor complications, and associated placental and cord characteristics in pregnancies with iSUA. A further aim was to assess the risk of recurrence of iSUA and anomalous cord or placenta characteristics in Norway.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Material and methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This was a population\u2010based study of all singleton pregnancies with gestational age &gt;16\u00a0weeks at birth using data from the Medical Birth Registry of Norway from 1999 to 2014 (n\u00a0=\u00a0918\u00a0933). Odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals were calculated for adverse perinatal outcome (preterm birth, perinatal and intrauterine death, low Apgar score, transferral to neonatal intensive care ward, placental and cord characteristics [placental weight, cord length and knots, anomalous cord insertion, placental abruption and previa]), and third stage of labor complications (postpartum hemorrhage and the need for manual placental removal or curettage) in pregnancies with iSUA, and recurrence of iSUA using generalized estimating equations and logistic regression.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Pregnancies with iSUA carried increased risk of adverse perinatal outcome (OR 5.06, 95% confidence interval [CI] 4.26\u20106.02) and perinatal and intrauterine death (OR 5.62, 95% CI 4.69\u20106.73), and a 73% and 55% increased risk of preterm birth and small\u2010for\u2010gestational\u2010age neonate, respectively. The presence of iSUA also carried increased risk of a small placenta, placenta previa and abruption, anomalous cord insertion, long cord, cord knot and third stage of labor complications. Women with iSUA, long cord or anomalous cord insertion in one pregnancy carried increased risk of iSUA in the subsequent pregnancy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The presence of ISUA was associated with a more than five times increased risk of intrauterine and perinatal death and with placental and cord complications.
