Parental morbidity and mortality following the birth of a child with major congenital anomalies: A population-based cohort study
This study identified increased morbidity among parents of children with major congenital anomalies, although mortality did not increase. Fathers exhibited a lower mortality risk, possibly indicating that caregiving, while demanding, may also offer protective benefits. Further research is needed to explore this effect and inform targeted interventions to support parental well-being.
