Hence, the current study was done to determine the prevalence and determinants of physical violence and its impact on birth outcomes during pregnancy in India. We have analyzed the most recent National Family Health Survey 4 data (NFHS-4) gathered from Demographic Health Survey (DHS) program. Stratification (urban\/rural) and clustering (villages\/census enumeration blocks [CEBs]) in the sample design was accounted using\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">svyset<\/jats:italic>\n                    command. In total, 62,165 ever pregnant women aged 15 to 49 years were included. Prevalence of physical violence during pregnancy in India was 3.3%. Husband\/partner (2.7%) was the person most commonly responsible. Women who were widowed\/separated\/divorced (aPR = 1.88), belonging to the poorest quantile (aPR = 2.32), women who were employed (aPR = 1.42), women in the Southern states (aPR = 3.24), and women whose husband\/partner has lesser educational qualification (adjusted prevalence ratio [aPR] = 2.02) had significantly higher prevalence of physical violence during pregnancy (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; .001). Women who faced physical violence had significantly higher proportion of miscarriage (4.3%), abortion (3.3%), and stillbirth (1.1%) when compared with women who did not face any violence (4.1% had miscarriage, 1.8% had abortion, and 0.5% had stillbirth;\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; .001). These findings show the importance of providing general supportive measures and strengthen the existing punitive legislations to prevent the violence during pregnancy.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0886260520938509","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,13]],"date-time":"2020-07-13T17:26:03Z","timestamp":1594661163000},"page":"2615-2632","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Prevalence and Determinants of Physical Violence and Its Impact on Birth Outcomes During Pregnancy in India: Evidence From a Nationally Representative Survey"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"37","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4688-510X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yuvaraj","family":"Krishnamoorthy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research, Puducherry, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karthika","family":"Ganesh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research, Puducherry, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,13]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_3_3_2_1","first-page":"10","article-title":"Violence against women increases the risk of infant and child mortality: A case-referent study in Nicaragua","volume":"81","author":"Asling-Monemi K.","year":"2003","unstructured":"Asling-Monemi K., Rodolfo P., Mary C.
