After adjustment, the risk of maternal adverse outcomes was 0.56 times reduced in multiparous women compared to nulliparous women (aRR 0.56, 95% CI 0.52\u20130.65, 44% lower risk), and the incidence of complication interventions in multipara was lower than in nullipara (aRR 0.76, 95% CI 0.59\u20130.99). Macrosomia and low birth weight were the most common neonatal adverse outcomes in the two groups.
