Insights into the Global and Mexican Context of Placental-Derived Pregnancy Complications.

Placental-derived pregnancy complications encompass a range of disorders that hinder optimal fetal development, significantly impacting maternal and neonatal health outcomes. Key conditions include placental insufficiency, preeclampsia, fetal growth restriction (FGR) or intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), fetal overgrowth, and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), which together contribute to a heightened risk of preterm birth, perinatal mortality, and long-term developmental challenges in affected infants. These complications are particularly notable because they generate approximately 80% of pregnancy disorders and pose significant public health concerns across diverse global contexts. Their management continues to face challenges, including a lack of consensus on diagnostic criteria and varied implementation of care standards. While imaging techniques like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and Doppler ultrasound have emerged as critical tools in clinical assessment, disparities in access to such technologies exacerbate existing inequalities in maternal and fetal health outcomes. Maternal and pregnancy care is a broad range of services aimed at promoting the well-being of women throughout the perinatal period. However, access to these services is often limited by economic, geographical, and sociocultural barriers, particularly for marginalized groups and women in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The implementation of targeted interventions designed to address specific obstacles faced by disadvantaged populations is a crucial component of bridging the gap in health equity in maternal care. Public health authorities and policymakers strive to develop evidence-based strategies that address the interplay between healthcare access, socioeconomic factors, and effective interventions in order to mitigate the adverse effects of placental-derived pregnancy complications. Continued research and data collection are essential to inform future policies and practices to improve outcomes for mothers and infants.
