Our study design was a cross-sectional study that utilized secondary data from the 2015 Afghanistan Demographic and Health Survey conducted in 33 provinces of Afghanistan (n = 19\u2009676). We used multiple logistic regression models to evaluate the relationship between domestic violence and early-pregnancy loss, perinatal, and neonatal mortality, with adjustments for confounders. Our results indicate that approximately 16.66% (n = 3278) of Afghan women experienced domestic violence while pregnant. In the adjusted models, we found that domestic physical violence in pregnancy was significantly associated with early-pregnancy loss (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 1.58, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.32-1.88), but not with perinatal mortality (AOR = 1.12, 95% CI = 0.96-1.32) and neonatal mortality (AOR = 1.10, 95% CI = 0.95-1.28). The higher odds of adverse birth outcomes among victims of domestic violence underlines the necessity for interventions to address violence against women in Afghanistan.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1010539520977333","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,30]],"date-time":"2020-11-30T08:12:25Z","timestamp":1606723945000},"page":"273-279","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Association of Domestic Physical Violence With Feto-Infant Outcomes in Afghanistan"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"33","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6416-3867","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sahra","family":"Ibrahimi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Adelphi University, Garden City, NY, USA"},{"name":"University of Maryland, College Park, MD, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amirhossein","family":"Alamdar Yazdi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Adelphi University, Garden City, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Korede K.","family":"Yusuf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Adelphi University, Garden City, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hamisu M.","family":"Salihu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1010539520977333","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/01459740.2011.576725"},{"key":"bibr2-1010539520977333","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0201974"},{"key":"bibr3-1010539520977333","unstructured":"Central Statistics Organization; Ministry of Public Health.
