Perinatal outcomes of midwife-led care, stratified by medical risk: a retrospective cohort study from British Columbia (2008-2018).

Background: Anecdotal evidence suggests that the profile of midwifery clients in British Columbia has changed over the past 20 years and that midwives are increasingly caring for clients with moderate to high medical risk. We sought to compare perinatal outcomes with a registered midwife as the most responsible provider (MRP) versus outcomes among clients with physicians as their MRP across medical risk strata.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study (2008-2018) used data from the BC Perinatal Data Registry.

Beyond Medically Complex Pregnancy: A Scoping Review to Understand How Complexity in Pregnancy is Conceptualized.

Background: The goal of this scoping review was to better understand how complexity in pregnancy is conceptualized. Specific objectives were to (1) identify factors that are conceptualized in the literature as complicating or impacting pregnancy; and (2) summarize tools and programs that have been implemented to support pregnant people with complex care needs.

Methods: Electronic databases were searched from January 2000 to July 2020 and supplemented by bibliographic searches and citation chaining, to identify articles that described at least one nonmedical and one medical risk factor during pregnancy.

Peer Support Interventions on Digital Platforms for Children With Type 1 Diabetes and Their Caregivers.

Peer support for children with type 1 diabetes and their caregivers has been recognized as a key component in diabetes management and mental health. In this era of digitization, support programs delivered via technology are growing rapidly, particularly with increased access to technology and social media. Although the development of different digital modalities for this purpose is in its early stages, five different types of digital platforms have been recognized: voice, text, website, video, and social media.
