Of the pregnancy management guidelines identified, most recommendations were largely based on findings from systematic reviews of observational and cohort studies, highlighting the lack of higher\u2010quality evidence from clinical trials currently available.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/birt.12903","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,11]],"date-time":"2025-03-11T16:51:39Z","timestamp":1741711899000},"page":"529-538","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Do Antenatal Interventions Improve Maternal and Perinatal Outcomes for Migrant Women Living in High\u2010Income Countries and What Guidelines Exist for Migrant Women?
