{"title":"Association between interpreter use and small for gestational age infants","authors":"Carrie A. Sibbald MD,&nbsp;Amy Godecker PhD, MS,&nbsp;Erin J. Bailey MD,&nbsp;Janine S. Rhoades MD,&nbsp;Jacquelyn H. Adams MD, MSCI","doi":"10.1016/j.ajogmf.2024.101486","DOIUrl":"10.1016/j.ajogmf.2024.101486","url":null,"abstract":"<div><h3>Background</h3><div>Limited English proficiency is associated with worse health outcomes regardless of health literacy. Prior research suggests that using interpreter services for low English proficiency helps mitigate the language barrier, is associated with improved health outcomes, and patient satisfaction; however, obstetric and neonatal outcomes and pregnancy risks in this population are not well studied.</div></div><div><h3>Objectives</h3><div>The primary purpose of this study was to determine if low English proficiency is an independent risk factor for small for gestational age infants by utilizing interpreter use as a proxy for low English proficiency. Due to the known challenges in communication with a language barrier and discrimination against people whose first language is not English, we hypothesized that this could result in an increase in high risk conditions in pregnancy such as SGA. Our hypothesis was that the need for an interpreter would be associated with having small for gestational age infants.</div></div><div><h3>Study Design</h3><div>We performed a retrospective cohort study at a single center using data between 1/1/2016 and 12/31/2021; we included singleton, live births ≥ 21 weeks gestation. We excluded multiple gestations, intrauterine fetal demise, and delivery &lt; 21 weeks. The primary outcome was rate of small for gestational age. Small for gestational age was defined as birthweight &lt; 10th percentile for gestational age using the 2018 Fenton newborn growth curve. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to control for confounding variables.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Of the 26,260 patients included in the study, 71.3% were non-Hispanic White, 9.5% were Hispanic/Latino, and 7.9% were non-Hispanic Black. Overall, 1,662 (6.3%) patients utilized an interpreter. Over half (58.0%) of patients requesting interpreter services were Hispanic. In unadjusted analyses, the rate of small for gestational age was not different between patients who used interpreter services (<em>n</em>=106, 6.4%) and those who did not (<em>n</em>=1612, 6.6 %), <em>P</em>=.779. After adjusting for race/ethnicity, gravidity, gestational age, private insurance, diabetes, hypertension, and prepregnancy body mass index, the use of interpreter services was associated with decreased odds of small for gestational age (aOR 0.67, 95% CI 0.53–0.84).</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>Our findings suggest that use of an interpreter is associated with a lower incidence of small for gestational age when controlling for patient characteristics and social determinants of health. Additional research is required to explore this association, but our results indicate that recognizing demographic risk factors and providing patients with social resources such as access to interpreter services may positively impact obstetric and neonatal outcomes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36186,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology Mfm","volume":"6 11","pages":"Article 101486"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142297343","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
