Observational study reveals increased maternal near-miss risk among migrant women, highlighting unexplained disparities by region of origin.
Region of origin was a strong predictor for near-miss among women from the Middle East, Asia and Africa/Latin America/other countries. Confounders mostly did not explain the higher risks for maternal near-miss in these groups of origin. Clinical studies and audits are required to examine the underlying causes for these risks.
