The aim of this study was to investigate the whole picture regarding pregnancy, prenatalcare, obstetrical complications, and delivery among disabled pregnant women in Korea. Using the data of National Health Insurance Corporation, we extracted the data of womenwho terminated pregnancy including delivery and abortion from January 1, 2010 toDecember 31, 2010. Pearson’s chi-square test and Student-t test were conducted toexamine the difference between disabled women and non-disabled women. Also, todefine the factors affecting inadequate prenatal care, logistic regression was performed. The total number of pregnancy were 463,847; disabled women was 2,968 (0.6%) and460,879 (99.4%) were by non-disabled women. Abortion rates (27.6%), Cesarean sectionrate (54.5%), and the rate of receiving inadequate prenatal care (17.0%), and the rate ofbeing experienced at least one obstetrical complication (11.3%) among disabled womenwere higher than those among non-disabled women (P < 0.001). Beneficiaries of MedicalAid (OR, 2.21) (P < 0.001) and severe disabled women (OR, 1.46) (P = 0.002) were morelikely to receive inadequate prenatal care. In conclusion, disabled women are morevulnerable in pregnancy, prenatal care and delivery. Therefore, the government and societyshould pay more attention to disabled pregnant women to ensure they have a safepregnancy period up until the delivery.
