Introducing an integrated maternity care pathway for women with a history of small-for-gestational-age: Evaluation of its effect on care process and clinical outcomes

Key Points

• Prenatal consultations decreased, indicating efficient care progression with the new pathway.
• The care pathway led to fewer inductions of labour, supporting smoother birthing processes for mothers.
• Births in primary care settings increased, reflecting a shift in care approach for SGA women.
• No adverse effects on neonatal outcomes were observed post-implementation, highlighting safety.
