Abstract:conditions, such as diabetes and hypertension. Our study showed that DDP women were associated with greater risk of venous thromboembolism (OR 1.6; 95% CI, 1.45-1.76, p<0.0001), sepsis (OR 2.94; 95% CI, 2.48-3.49, p<0.0001), and maternal death (OR 2.77; 95% CI, 1.88-4.08, p<0.0001). In addition, these women experienced higher risks of hemorrhage, preterm labor, liver disease, and post-partum depression. Neonates born to mothers with drug dependence were at higher risk of prematurity (
