Examining the Role of Race in Maternal Morbidities and Adverse Infant Birth Outcomes in Florida (2004 to 2022) - A Retrospective Exploratory Analysis.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundStudies reporting maternal morbidities and adverse infant outcomes group Hispanics together without considering the implications of racial identity, particularly among Black Hispanics in the United States.
objectiveThis study aims to examine maternal morbidity and adverse infant birth outcomes across racially and ethnically diverse groups in Florida (from 2004-2022), with particular attention to the heterogeneity within the Hispanic population.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective secondary analysis of Florida birth certificate data from 2004 to 2022 (N = 3,364,973), examining maternal morbidity (hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, gestational diabetes) and adverse infant outcomes (preterm birth, small or large for gestational age). Outcomes were stratified by race and ethnicity. Logistic regression models were employed to estimate crude and adjusted odds ratios while controlling for key sociodemographic covariates.
resultsBlack Hispanic mothers had higher odds of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, but no significant difference in gestational diabetes after considering the independent impact of race and ethnicity. Their infants had lower odds of preterm birth and small-for-gestational-age, and higher odds of large-for-gestational-age after considering the independent impact of race and ethnicity. Compared to other groups, Black Hispanics had the lowest rates of private insurance, educational attainment, and prenatal care adequacy, highlighting sociodemographic disparities alongside clinical outcomes.
conclusionOur findings highlight nuanced disparities in maternal and infant outcomes for Black Hispanics. Further investigation is essential to understand why maternal health outcomes for Black Hispanics align more closely with their Black counterparts, while infant outcomes diverge, emphasizing the need for disaggregated analyses within the Hispanic population.
