Malik S, et al. – The following study aims to describe emergency department (ED) utilization among perinatal women and identify differences in risk factors and outcomes between women who use vs. do not use the ED during the perinatal period. The physicians emphasize that pregnant patients using the ED are a high–risk, vulnerable population. As per the outcomes, regular ED screening and linkage of this vulnerable population to early prenatal care and psychosocial interventions should be counted as a public health strategy worth examining.
