Maternal social determinants of health: the hidden face of perinatal mortality in Mexico
Clinical and social determinants significantly influence perinatal mortality. Addressing social inequalities and integrating social determinants into perinatal care could improve maternal and neonatal health outcomes. However, limitations such as reliance on self-reported data, ecological-level indicators for social vulnerability, and potential constraints on generalizability should be considered. These findings emphasize the need for targeted health policies to reduce social vulnerabilities and enhance health care access in middle-income countries.
