The Intersection of Disability and Pregnancy: Risks for Maternal Morbidity and Mortality

Caroline Signore, Maurice Davis, Candace M. Tingen, Alison N. Cernich

Summary: Approximately 1 in 4 women in the United States have a disability, with 10-12% of women of childbearing age having a disability. Limited data suggests that women with disabilities may experience higher rates of risks related to pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum care. Research on specific disabling conditions shows variable risks for syndromes threatening maternal health, highlighting the need for further tailored information and evidence-based care approaches.

The maternal health of American Indian and Alaska Native people: A scoping review

Ailish Burns, Teresa DeAtley, Susan E. Short

Summary: Indigenous people in the United States experience disadvantages in multiple health domains, including maternal health. Existing studies show that American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) people have higher levels of maternal mortality and morbidity compared to non-Hispanic White people. Individual factors such as poverty, cultural beliefs, and limited access to healthcare contribute to this disparity. However, these studies often overlook the historical and structural contexts, such as colonization and economic marginalization, that affect AI/AN tribal nations. More research conducted by and for Indigenous communities is needed to address the erasure of AI/AN people's maternal health experiences and to promote their overall well-being.

Measurement of maternal morbidity during postpartum with the WHO-WOICE tools in Morocco

Hanane Hababa, Bouchra Assarag

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of non-severe maternal morbidities in postpartum women and analyze factors associated with compromised mental functioning and clinical health. The results showed that over 40% of women reported good health, but only 9.09% had health conditions diagnosed by physicians. About 20.95% reported exposure to violence. These findings suggest that improving the quality of care for women requires a multi-faceted approach, including increased research, better access to care, and improved education and resources for women and healthcare providers.

Aging with spinal cord injury: A narrative review of consequences and challenges

Gabriel Guizar-Sahagun, Israel Grijalva, Rebecca E. Franco-Bourland, Ignacio Madrazo

Summary: With the increase in life expectancy, the number of elderly individuals with pre-existing spinal cord injuries (SCI) is rising. Aging with SCI poses challenges due to compromised health and functional independence. This review highlights the consequences and challenges faced by this population through a literature review of research related to aging in individuals with SCI. Adverse circumstances include progressive physical deterioration, secondary health conditions, limitations in personal activity, changes in support structures, caregiver aging, and depletion of economic resources. Positive changes are also observed, including psychosocial adjustments that enhance quality of life. Intervention strategies to promote well-being, health, and social participation are discussed. Up-to-date information is essential for SCI individuals and caregivers to promote healthy aging in an inclusive social environment.

Chlorhexidine for facility-based umbilical cord care: EN-BIRTH multi-country validation study

Sojib Bin Zaman, Abu Bakkar Siddique, Harriet Ruysen, Ashish Kc, Kimberly Peven, Shafiqul Ameen, Nishant Thakur, Qazi Sadeq-ur Rahman, Nahya Salim, Rejina Gurung, Tazeen Tahsina, Ahmed Ehsanur Rahman, Patricia S. Coffey, Barbara Rawlins, Louise T. Day, Joy E. Lawn, Shams El Arifeen

Summary: The study found that chlorhexidine coverage for umbilical cord care was very high in all three hospitals, ranging from 89.3% to 99.4%. Exit survey-reported coverage underestimated the observer-assessed coverage with substantial don't know responses. Routine register-recorded coverage was closer to observer-assessed coverage than survey reports, suggesting the importance of including chlorhexidine cord care into registers in countries with national policies.
