Social determinants were defined using the WHO framework as structural (ethnicity, migration status, area deprivation) and intermediary (housing, employment, financial hardship, social support, barriers to care). The primary outcome was a composite adverse perinatal outcome. Binary logistic regression models with random intercepts accounted for repeated pregnancies, and adjusted risk ratios (aRRs) were estimated controlling for key sociodemographic and clinical factors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Structural poverty-related social determinants of health were associated with increased risk of adverse perinatal outcomes, including Black (aRR 1.50, 95% CI 1.42\u20131.59), Asian (aRR 1.49, 95% CI 1.39\u20131.59), and other minoritised ethnic backgrounds (aRR 1.50, 95% CI 1.42\u20131.59), residence in the most deprived areas (aRR 1.10, 95% CI 1.01\u20131.20), non-UK birth (aRR 1.20, 95% CI 1.15\u20131.25), and recent migration (aRR 1.32, 95% CI 1.14\u20131.53). Intermediary poverty-related social determinants of health were independently associated with increased risk beyond ethnicity and deprivation, including lack of social support (aRR 1.21, 95% CI 1.02\u20131.42), unemployment (aRR 1.16, 95% CI 1.10\u20131.23), financial hardship (aRR 1.17, 95% CI 1.01\u20131.35), living in social housing (aRR 1.16, 95% CI 1.09\u20131.24), transfer of care between hospitals (aRR 1.27, 95% CI 1.18\u20131.37), missed appointments (aRR 1.19, 95% CI 1.04\u20131.37), and unscheduled maternity care use (aRR 1.21, 95% CI 1.14\u20131.29).
