Article Synopsis
- Social vulnerability significantly impacts perinatal medical risks for both mothers and fetuses, with one-third of maternal deaths between 2016-2018 linked to it.
- A considerable portion of these deaths (73%) involved sub-optimal care, with a higher chance of avoidability (63%) compared to women without social vulnerability (56%).
- The study highlights the importance of enhancing the interaction between socially vulnerable women and healthcare systems to reduce maternal mortality and improve outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- * Conducted at a hospital in western French Guyana from 1992 to 2004, the retrospective cohort study included 29 women and examined outcomes like pre-eclampsia, preterm delivery, and neonatal mortality.
- * Results indicated that prophylactic transfusions reduced vaso-occlusive crises and preterm deliveries but led to an increase in intrauterine growth restriction, suggesting a mixed impact on complications, warranting further research through a randomized study.
