Abstract
Robust epidemiological evidence of risk and protective factors for psychosis is essential to inform preventive interventions. Previous evidence syntheses have classified these risk and protective factors according to their strength of association with psychosis. In this critical review we appraise the distinct and overlapping mechanisms of 25 key environmental risk factors for psychosis, and link these to mechanistic pathways that may contribute to neurochemical alterations hypothesised to underlie psychotic symptoms. We then discuss the implications of our findings for future research, specifically considering interactions between factors, exploring universal and subgroup-specific factors, improving understanding of temporality and risk dynamics, standardising operationalisation and measurement of risk and protective factors, and developing preventive interventions targeting risk and protective factors.

Abstract
Abstract
In many countries, immigrant women constitute a substantial proportion of women giving birth. With gestational diabetes being one of the most common complications in pregnancy, understanding gestational diabetes in the context of international migration becomes increasingly relevant. Here, we examine the current evidence related to international migration and gestational diabetes, including short- and long-term adverse outcomes and the experiences of immigrant women with gestational diabetes care and long-term follow-up. Existing evidence focuses on immigrants in high-income countries, and has mainly examined differences in the risk of developing gestational diabetes, or on the experiences of immigrant women diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Studies suggest that the risk of gestational diabetes may be influenced by migration and that immigrant women likely experience particular barriers to care and follow-up. Current research on perinatal outcomes is inconclusive and studies on long-term outcomes are practically absent. Future research should include data on country of origin and examine the role of premigration and postmigration factors in developing gestational diabetes and its associated short- and long-term outcomes. Understanding these factors will provide useful insights into improving the health and health care needs of migrating populations and enable inclusion of culturally appropriate health care practices, thereby improving the health of our current and future generations.

Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes and International Immigration Status: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. Ann Glob Health 2022; 88:44. [PMID: 35854922 PMCID: PMC9248985 DOI: 10.5334/aogh.3591] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2021] [Accepted: 06/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Disparities in health outcomes between immigrant and native-origin populations, particularly pregnant women, pose significant challenges to healthcare systems. The aim of this systematic-review and meta-analysis was to investigate the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes among immigrant-women compared to native-origin women in the host country. Methods: PubMed (including MEDLINE), Scopus, and Web of Science were searched to retrieve studies published in English language up to September 2020. All observational studies examining the prevalence of at least one of the short-term single pregnancy outcomes for immigrants who crossed international borders compared to native-origin pregnant population were included. The meta-prop method was used for the pooled-estimation of adverse pregnancy-outcomes’ prevalence. For pool-effect estimates, the association between the immigration-status and outcomes of interest, the random-effects model was applied using the model described by DerSimonian and Laird. I2 statistic was used to assess heterogeneity. The publication bias was assessed using the Harbord-test. Meta-regression was performed to explore the effect of geographical region as the heterogeneity source. Findings: This review involved 11 320 674 pregnant women with an immigration-background and 56 102 698 pregnant women as the native-origin population. The risk of emergency cesarean section (Pooled-OR = 1.1, 95%CI = 1.0–1.2), shoulder dystocia (Pooled-OR = 1.1, 95%CI = 1.0–1.3), gestational diabetes mellites (Pooled-OR = 1.4, 95%CI = 1.2–1.6), small for gestational age (Pooled-OR=1.3, 95%CI = 1.1–0.4), 5-min Apgar less than 7 (Pooled-OR = 1.2, 95%CI = 1.0–1.3) and oligohydramnios (Pooled-OR = 1.8, 95%CI = 1.0–3.3) in the immigrant women were significantly higher than those with the native origin background. The immigrant women had a lower risk of labor induction (Pooled-OR = 0.8, 95%CI = 0.7–0.8), pregnancy induced hypertension (Pooled-OR = 0.6, 95%CI = 0.5–0.7) preeclampsia (Pooled-OR = 0.7, 95%CI = 0.6–0.8), macrosomia (Pooled-OR = 0.8, 95%CI = 0.7–0.9) and large for gestational age (Pooled-OR = 0.8, 95%CI = 0.7–0.8). Also, the risk of total and primary cesarean section, instrumental-delivery, preterm-birth, and birth-trauma were similar in both groups. According to meta-regression analyses, the reported ORs were not influenced by the country of origin. Conclusion: The relationship between the immigration status and adverse perinatal outcomes indicated a heterogenous pattern, but the immigrant women were at an increased risk of some important adverse pregnancy outcomes. Population-based studies with a focus on the various aspects of this phenomena are required to explain the source of these heterogenicities.

Abstract
Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund Etwa 25 % der Bevölkerung Deutschlands haben einen Migrationshintergrund (MH), der mit einem schlechteren perinatalen Outcome einhergehen kann. Der Gestationsdiabetes (GDM) gehört zu den häufigsten Schwangerschaftserkrankungen; von ihm sind Frauen mit MH in höherem Maße betroffen. Bisher liegen keine systematisch erhobenen Daten zur Betreuung von Migrantinnen mit GDM vor.
Fragestellung Ziel der Studie war es, Auswirkungen eines MH auf Schwangerschaften von Frauen mit GDM zu evaluieren: Haben Immigrantinnen und ihre Nachkommen ein schlechteres perinatales Outcome als Frauen ohne MH in den Parametern Geburtseinleitung, Sectio, Makrosomie, Apgar, Nabelschnur-pH-Wert, Verlegung auf eine neonatologische Intensivstation, Frühgeburt und prä-/postpartale Hb-Differenz? Beeinflusst ein MH außerdem den Zeitpunkt der ersten Schwangerenvorsorge sowie die Zahl der Vorsorgeuntersuchungen?
Methoden Datenerhebung an drei Berliner Geburtskliniken 2011/2012 unmittelbar in der Kreißsaalaufnahme über 12 Monate anhand standardisierter Interviews (Fragebogenset) in deutscher, türkischer und anderen Sprachen. Fragen zu soziodemografischen Aspekten, Schwangerenvorsorge sowie ggf. Migration und Akkulturation. Verknüpfung der Befragungsdaten mit Mutterpass- und klinischen Perinataldaten. Adjustierung für Alter, BMI, Parität und sozioökonomischen Status erfolgte in Regressionsmodellen.
Ergebnisse Die Daten von n = 2878 Frauen mit MH (GDM: 4,7 %) und n = 2785 Frauen ohne MH (GDM: 4,8 %) konnten verglichen werden. Eine multiple Regressionsanalyse zeigte keine Unterschiede in den Chancen der beiden Gruppen mit GDM hinsichtlich Sectio, Makrosomie, Apgar, Nabelschnur-pH-Werten, Verlegungen auf eine neonatologische Intensivstation sowie Zeitpunkt der ersten Schwangerenvorsorge ≥ 12 SSW und Zahl der Vorsorgeuntersuchungen < 10. Sowohl für Frauen mit GDM und MH (OR 1,57; 95 %-KI 1,08–2,27) als auch für solche mit GDM ohne MH (OR 1,47; 95 %-KI 1,01–2,14) bestand eine signifikant höhere Chance der Geburtseinleitung.
Schlussfolgerung Frauen mit GDM und MH zeigen ein ähnlich gutes Schwangerschaftsergebnis wie solche mit GDM und ohne MH, was auf eine hohe Qualität der peripartalen Betreuung und Versorgung hinweist. Im Vergleich zu Frauen ohne GDM wird bedingt durch diesen und den höheren BMI unabhängig vom MH vermehrt eingeleitet. Die Ergebnisse für Frauen mit GDM lassen unabhängig vom MH auf einen ähnlichen Standard der Inanspruchnahme von Vorsorgeuntersuchungen in der Schwangerschaft schließen.

Childbirth experiences of immigrant women in Chile: Trading human rights and autonomy for dignity and good care. Midwifery 2021; 101:103047. [PMID: 34118577 DOI: 10.1016/j.midw.2021.103047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2020] [Revised: 04/27/2021] [Accepted: 05/24/2021] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Childbirth is a transcendent life experience but may also be a moment of great vulnerability, especially when it occurs outside the mother's country of origin. OBJECTIVE To explore the perceptions and experiences of Spanish-speaking immigrant women regarding the healthcare they received during labour and childbirth in Santiago, Chile. METHODS This qualitative, transcendental phenomenological research was performed at two maternity hospitals using purposive criterion sampling. Eighteen individual and two group interviews were conducted. The resulting information was transcribed and then coded and categorised using phenomenological analysis. RESULTS Six categories were extracted from the narratives which reflect a pragmatic relationship with the healthcare team that included a perception of 'justified' lack of care. The mothers' exercise of autonomy was subjugated by power-knowledge relations between the women and caregiver that compelled them to refrain from expressing their needs and preferences out of fear of abuse. The women valued emotional support, pain relief and satisfaction of needs in association with medical procedures and companionship. The women rated their experiences as positive if they avoided mistreatment and, as 'the essence of the experience', perceived the care as a favour rather than a right. CONCLUSION Most immigrant women felt that they had received treatment similar to that of native-born mothers. However, low expectations of autonomy shaped their evaluations of the experiences. Also, a high value on companionship and pain relief, characterised the women's experiences of childbirth. These findings of the interviews reflect a need for a stronger focus on empowerment with an emphasis on gender and rights.

Pregestational obesity, maternal morbidity and risk of caesarean delivery in a country in an advanced stage of obstetric transition. Obes Res Clin Pract 2021; 15:73-77. [PMID: 33390323 DOI: 10.1016/j.orcp.2020.12.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2020] [Revised: 12/06/2020] [Accepted: 12/15/2020] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether pregestational obesity is associated with the risk of caesarean section in pregnant women living in a country in an advanced stage of the obstetric transition. METHODS Retrospective cohort study. Data were collected from prenatal and hospital records. Pregestational obesity was defined as: body mass index, [weight(k)/height (m2)] ≥30, and caesarean sections were categorized as elective, emergency, or non-emergency/medically necessary. Biodemographic and sociodemographic characteristics, obstetric and perinatal pathologies, and maternal anthropometric variables were assessed. Chi-square and t-tests were used to compare qualitative and quantitative variables, respectively. Simple and adjusted generalized linear models were used to evaluate the association between pregestational obesity and caesarean delivery. Finally, population attributable risk was calculated. Data analysis was performed using STATA.v.14.0. PARTICIPANTS 2309 pregnant women with a singleton pregnancy who gave birth at a public hospital in the Metropolitan Region of Santiago, Chile in 2015. RESULTS The prevalence of pregestational obesity was 21.4%, and the incidence of caesarean deliveries was 34.8% (33% of which corresponded to elective, 46% to emergency, and 21% to non-emergency/medically necessary caesarean deliveries). Pregestational obesity increased the risk of caesarean delivery (aRR = 1.46; 95%CI. [1.19-1.79] as well as the risk of elective (aRR = 1.74; 95%CI. [1.23-2.45]) and emergency caesarean delivery (aRR = 1.44; 95%CI. [1.03-2.00]). The population attributable risk of pregestational obesity for caesarean section was 32%. CONCLUSION Given the significant association between pregestational obesity and caesarean delivery, it is necessary to develop strategies to decrease obesity among women of childbearing age in order to decrease obstetric intervention.
