Perinatal health outcomes of women from Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities: A systematic review
CONCLUSION: This review provides evidence that GRT women and children experience more negative outcomes than general populations. It also highlights the gaps in ethnicity and health inequalities more broadly. The significant importance of this research is the need for increased focus on reducing health inequalities, especially among the GRT community.PMID:38113569 | DOI:10.1016/j.midw.2023.103910 (Source: Midwifery)

Antenatal care utilization and its determinants in fragile and conflict-affected situations in Sekota Zuria District, Northern Ethiopia, 2022: A community-based cross-sectional study
CONCLUSIONS: The antenatal care utilization in the study area was 54.5%. Respondents' restricted movement because of insecurity negatively affected the service utilization during the fragile and conflict-affected situation. So it demands designing context and vulnerable group-specific healthcare policies and strategies in fragile and conflict-affected situations. It is also very important to strengthen the availability and accessibility of maternal healthcare services in conflict-affected areas through outreach initiatives and mobile clinics.PMID:38101294 | DOI:10.1016/j.midw.2023.103906 (Source: Midwifery)

Adoption of virtual prenatal visits linked to recurrent virtual or forgone visits for postpartum care
CONCLUSIONS: While virtual prenatal visits are linked to greater virtual visits for postpartum care, they are also associated with increased forgone care. The unavailability of virtual appointments and cellular data is a significant barrier to virtual visits. The findings provide practical implications for advancing equitable and sustainable care in a rapidly changing healthcare landscape.PMID:38070218 | DOI:10.1016/j.midw.2023.103904 (Source: Midwifery)
