Maternal risk factors and perinatal outcomes among pacific islander groups in Hawaii: a retrospective cohort study using statewide hospital data.
This study compared perinatal outcomes between Pacific Islander and White women who delivered a singleton liveborn in any Hawaii hospital from January 2010 to December 2011. Significant differences in perinatal outcomes between Pacific Islander and White women and newborns were noted. All Pacific Islander groups had an increased risk of hypertension. Native Hawaiians had the highest risk of low birthweight infants.
