Abstract

Background Women from a refugee background who resettle in high-income countries experience poorer perinatal outcomes in comparison to women from host countries. There is a paucity of research on how best to improve these outcomes. Aim To report on the effectiveness of an Australian Refugee Midwifery Group Practice service on perinatal outcomes. Methods We used inverse probability of treatment weighting to balance confounders and calculate treatment effect and compare maternal and neonatal outcomes for women from a refugee background who received Refugee Midwifery Group Practice care (n=625), to those receiving standard care (n=634) at a large tertiary hospital (1 January 2016-31 December 2019). Prespecified primary outcomes included: proportion of women attending ≥5 antenatal visits, preterm birth (
