Risk of divorce and likelihood of having additional children among families with children with spina bifida: A Swedish population-based longitudinal register study

The results should be understood in the Swedish context, which is known for its comprehensive welfare system. Future research should investigate the mechanisms behind these results. WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS?: This study contributes to the field by utilizing population-based register data, which is rare for spina bifida research. Comparison to prior studies indicates that there is substantial heterogeneity across disabilities indicating that while some research can be conducted at the broad disability level, in certain contexts it might be inappropriate to study disability as a group or generalising the results from one disability to the next.
