Article Synopsis
- Malignant cardiac tumors are rare and usually have a poor prognosis; early identification and classification are crucial, especially with metastases.
- Echocardiography is the main tool for detection, but in places without this technology, cardiac tumors might go undiagnosed.
- A case in Malawi demonstrated how point of care ultrasound (POCUS) can quickly identify cardiac masses and liver lesions, acting as a valuable resource for diagnosis in low-resource settings.
Objectives: In Syracuse, NY among 5998 births in a 3-year period (2017-2019), 24% were to foreign-born women, among whom nearly 5% were refugees from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Somalia. The impetus for the study was to identify potential risk factors and birth outcomes of refugee women, other foreign-born women, and US born women to inform care.
Methods: This study reviewed 3 years of births (2017-2019) in a secondary database of births in Syracuse, New York.
