Abstract: The present study has been conducted with the objective of investigating the impact of placental abruption on both fetal development and maternal health outcomes, as well as on newborn health. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 110 Iraqi female patients, with demographic information and data collected from several different hospitals in Iraq. Initial information related to the age, height, weight, and body mass index of female patients was extracted, and all the necessary licenses were obtained for the purpose of conducting this study, which included the written form from the patients. The study found that the analysis encompassed 110 patients, with the majority of cases (40 patients) falling within, the majority of patients diagnosed with placental abruption were identified as overweight, with a low fifth-minute APGAR score for eight patients, total neonatal deaths for one baby, NICU for seven patients, the data obtained indicate an increased risk of placental abruption in patients with nicotine dependence. A modifiable risk factor such as nicotine addiction is also a significant risk factor for the development of premature rupture of membranes. In contrast, other modifiable risk factors, such as obesity, play an important role in the development of placental insufficiency. Consequently, the correction of these modifiable risk factors will not only facilitate the prevention of preeclampsia, but also numerous other obstetric diseases
