Abstract

Introduction: People seeking sanctuary, including refugees and asylum seekers, face barriers and challenges in accessing high quality healthcare. In maternity care specifically, asylum-seeking and refugee women are less likely to access timely and adequate antenatal care and may be more likely to experience adverse perinatal outcomes.

Objectives: We aim to describe maternity care service users seeking sanctuary in Wales and determine whether their perinatal health outcomes and use of maternity care services differ from women born in the UK.

Methods: We will conduct a retrospective cohort study. Linking six datasets held by SAIL Databank, we will identify individuals recorded as refugees or asylum seekers in General Practitioner (GP) records. We will conduct a descriptive analysis of their demographic and health characteristics and conduct a comparative analysis of maternity care service use and perinatal health outcomes between refugees and asylum seekers and UK-born individuals. We will identify statistically significant differences between groups, and where the completeness and quality of the data allow, we will adjust for known covariates.

Results: This study will enable us to report on the characteristics of maternity care service users seeking sanctuary in Wales, their maternity care service use and perinatal health outcomes compared to UK-born women.

Conclusions: This data linkage study will enhance our understanding of health inequities in maternity care and perinatal outcomes related to asylum seeker or refugee status. Results will inform policy and practice to improve provision of maternity care to women seeking sanctuary.

在威尔士寻求庇护的人的产妇护理经验和结果:数据链接研究协议。
引言:寻求庇护的人,包括难民和寻求庇护者,在获得高质量医疗保健方面面临障碍和挑战。特别是在产妇护理方面,寻求庇护妇女和难民妇女获得及时和适当的产前护理的可能性较小,而且更有可能出现不利的围产期结果。目的:我们的目的是描述在威尔士寻求庇护的产妇护理服务用户,并确定他们的围产期健康结果和产妇护理服务的使用是否与在英国出生的妇女不同。方法:我们将进行回顾性队列研究。连接SAIL数据库持有的六个数据集,我们将识别在全科医生(GP)记录中记录为难民或寻求庇护者的个人。我们将对他们的人口和健康特征进行描述性分析,并对难民和寻求庇护者与在英国出生的个人之间的产妇保健服务使用情况和围产期健康结果进行比较分析。我们将确定组间的统计显著差异,在数据的完整性和质量允许的情况下,我们将调整已知协变量。结果:本研究将使我们能够报告在威尔士寻求庇护的产妇护理服务用户的特征,与英国出生的妇女相比,他们的产妇护理服务使用和围产期健康结果。结论:这项数据链接研究将加强我们对与寻求庇护者或难民身份相关的孕产妇保健和围产期结局方面的卫生不平等的理解。结果将为政策和实践提供信息,以改善向寻求庇护的妇女提供的产妇护理。
