- The study investigates the prevalence of Trypanosoma cruzi infection (Chagas disease) among pregnant migrants in Madrid, focusing on their countries of origin and the effectiveness of screening methods.
- Conducted across eight hospitals between 2011 and 2016, it found that out of 149,470 deliveries, only 11,048 pregnant women were screened, with a significant majority being from Bolivia and a high prevalence of infection among those screened.
- Results highlighted a 47% average screening coverage across hospitals, showing a stark contrast between those with universal screening (73% coverage) versus selective screening (10% coverage), providing essential insights for health policymakers.
