The Impact of Earthquakes on Pregnancy Outcomes: A Systematic Review
Pregnant women living in earthquake-affected areas face unique challenges that can impact both their health and the health of their babies. Recent research, particularly a systematic review and meta-analysis led by Fatih Aktoz, Ali Can Gunes, and Kayhan Yakin, has examined the effects of earthquake exposure on pregnancy outcomes. This article outlines their findings and highlights the need for more research in this area to better understand and mitigate the risks.
