Overview

A retrospective cohort study examines ethnic disparities in perinatal outcomes, suggesting significant implications for maternal care.

Key Points

  • To examine ethnic disparities in perinatal outcomes and the influence of migration factors.
  • Analyzed linked electronic health records using generalised linear mixed models (GLMMs).
  • Population included women birthing singleton infants between 24 and 43 weeks' gestation.
  • Adjusted for socioeconomic deprivation and medical risks.
  • Higher emergency caesarean risk among Asian and Black women compared to White women.
  • Increased risk of preterm birth and low birthweight in infants of Black and Asian women.
  • Foreign-born women exhibit lower low birthweight risks but higher risks of low Apgar scores and stillbirth/neonatal death.
