“…The correlation between MNM and lack of insurance was a new finding in our settings, although prior studies indicate that adverse maternal outcomes are more likely among immigrants and socially disadvantaged women in high-income countries (23)(24)(25). Dissociation from the health system affects women's care-seeking behavior and timely access to medical attention and may thus be associated with MNM (26,27).…”

“…Several individual-level risk factors are associated with the maternal complications, such as maternal age, presence of co-morbidities or medical conditions, multiple pregnancies, and previous miscarriage [ 7 , 8 ]. Behavioural factors like alcohol and tobacco consumption increase the risk of maternal complications like preterm childbirth, low birth weight, postpartum hemorrhage, placenta previa, abruptic placentae, congenital anomalies, and sudden infant death syndrome [ 9 – 12 ]. Furthermore, nutrition factors like Body Mass Index of women, and anaemia among them, also are significantly associated with maternal complications, including gestational hypertension, gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and pregnancy terminated by caesarean section [ 13 ], as well as and poor pregnancy outcomes [ 14 ].…”

Background Self-reported maternal complications are associated with maternal morbidity, deliveries by C-section, postpartum depression, and maternal death. Thus, it is necessary to examine the contribution of socio-demographic and maternal characteristics, as well as service utilization in the rising self-reporting of maternal complications (difficulty with daylight vision, convulsions, swelling of the legs, body or face, heavy vaginal bleeding or high fever) in India. The study aimed at examining the factors that have influenced the increasing prevalence of maternal complications between 2005–06 and 2015–16 in India. Methods Data from the two most recent rounds of the National Family Health Survey, which covered a sample of 36,850 and 190,898 women respectively who delivered in the last five years preceding the survey has been used. Logistic regression analysis was performed to carve out the factors which significantly contributed to maternal complications among women aged 15 – 49 years in India. With the help of the Fairlie decomposition technique, the study quantified the contribution of factors which influenced the changes in maternal complications in the period from 2005–06 to 2015–16. Results A significant increase was seen in the prevalence of maternal complications — from 43.6% to 53.7% between the years 2005–06 and 2015–16. About 21% of the increase could be explained by certain maternal, households level factors, service utilization and birth outcomes. For example, service utilization, in which 13% was attributed to the place of delivery and 6% to postnatal care, was the major contributor to the increase in maternal complications from 2005–06 to 2015–16). This was followed by individual-level factors like education (2%), body mass index (4%) and tobacco use,. It was also found that household-level factors like standard of living (-3.7%) and region (-1.4%), and birth weight contributed to the reduction of complications during the period. Conclusion The increase in the prevalence of maternal complications in India could be attributed mainly attributed to increase in reporting behavior, an outcome of increased utilization of maternal healthcare services, and increase in BMI. However, reduced prevalence of maternal complications can be attributed to the decrease in the prevalence of low-birth-weight babies and tobacco use among women in India.

“…Existen numerosos trabajos que evalúan la asociación entre el estatus socioeconómico y el nacer prematuramente (70), vivir en barrios con promedios de ingresos menores y el nacer prematuramente y con bajo peso para la edad gestacional (71)(72)(73), o los mismos indicadores cuando se relaciona otros factores como la educación y el trabajo paterno (72,74). Así un estudio poblacional en el Reino Unido con 17285 embarazadas concluye que existe una asociación entre el desempleo y la falta soporte social con un mayor riesgo de parto prematuro (75).…”

At Ramón Sardá Mother-infant Hospital we have noticed a higher burden of preterm and small for gestational age births in recent times. It is possible that many of the observed associations between height, low birth weight and health outcomes are precipitated by the effects of adverse socioeconomic circumstances in early childhood. The objective of the study was to analyze the association of socioeconomic factors on growth and neurodevelopment at 1 and 2 years of corrected age in a population of newborns with birth weight less than 1501 grams. All children were born at Ramón Sardá Maternal and Child Hospital between 2003 and 2013, and included into the follow up program. A retrospective cohort study was performed. Were included 405 newborns in the first year and 317 have been in the follow up program during the second year. Maternal education, unmet basic needs, monoparental family, instable occupation and small for gestational age were associated with worst outcomes of growth and neurodevelopment at 1 and 2 years of corrected age in the means, bivariate and multivariate analysis. We considered important widening and deepening the knowledge about influence of socioeconomic factors and inequalities on growth and neurodevelopment in childhood and adolescence for an effective treatment of the vulnerability and theirs dimensions.
