Trends and disparities in perinatal health outcomes among women from refugee backgrounds in Victoria, Australia: A population-based study
CONCLUSION: Refugee background was associated with unfavourable perinatal outcomes, highlighting the negative influence of refugee status on perinatal health. This evidences the need to address the unique healthcare requirements of this vulnerable population to enhance the well-being of mothers and newborns. Implementing targeted interventions and policies is crucial to meet the healthcare requirements of women of refugee backgrounds. Collaborative efforts between healthcare organisations, government agencies and non-governmental organisations are essential in establishing comprehensive support systems to assist refugee wo...

Improving maternal and neonatal outcomes for women with gestational diabetes through continuity of midwifery care: A cross-sectional study
CONCLUSION: Findings provide preliminary evidence suggesting CoMC improves maternal and neonatal outcomes and is likely a safe and viable option for otherwise low-risk women with GDM. Larger studies are recommended to confirm findings and explore the full impact of CoMC for women with GDM.PMID:38547549 | DOI:10.1016/j.wombi.2024.101597 (Source: Women Birth)

Evidence to support targeted investment in breastfeeding education among families of low socioeconomic status
Commentary on: Kopp SJ, Kelly EA, DeFranco EA. Influence of social determinants of health on breastfeeding intent in the USA. Birth. 2023 Jul 3. doi: 10.1111/birt.12740. Epub ahead of print. Implications for practice and research Healthcare providers should focus on improving knowledge around breastfeeding guidelines and the benefits of breast feeding for mothers in low socioeconomic status (SES) groups. Focusing research on breastfeeding intention (rather than rates) in low SES groups may help to improve breastfeeding outcomes as breastfeeding intentions are a significant predictor of breastfeeding initiation. Context Bre...

Evaluation of Elastic Venous Compression Device dispensation in pregnant and post-partum women using the French National Health Insurance Claims Database: The ProFIL retrospective cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: Low observed dispensation rates highlight a discrepancy between the French National Authority for Health (Haute Autorité de Santé, HAS), recommending EVCDs use during pregnancy and after delivery, and the real-life use of EVCD. Prescription sensitization combined with targeted information campaigns for pregnant women would be beneficial to contribute to the prevention of VTE, a health problem for pregnant women.PMID:38531180 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejogrb.2024.03.014 (Source: Reproductive Biology)
