Exactly why this happens is unclear.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Underlying health conditions such as hypertension or diabetes could be factors, alongside poor prenatal care and geographic access. But the numbers are troubling, and the same trend holds true for infant mortality rates, according to the analysis of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wonder.cdc.gov\/\">CDC figures<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;New analysis from the University of Minnesota Rural Health Research Center puts the situation in dire terms: \u201cMore than two thirds of rural counties in Florida, Nevada and South Dakota have no in-county obstetrical services,\u201d says one of the study\u2019s authors, Carrie Henning-Smith, a research associate at the center. The analysis, which has not yet been published, finds that this was true from 2004 through 2014 (the latest year analyzed). That means these counties had absolutely no hospitals providing obstetrical care\u2014forcing women to travel to other counties.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Unfortunately,<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>family physicians are not moving in to fill these care gaps in high enough numbers. And the number of family physicians offering obstetrical services has dropped by half in recent years, although many still offer basic prenatal care: In the year 2000, 23 percent of family physicians offered obstetrics\u2014but when they were surveyed in\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s10995-012-1159-8\">2010<\/a>\u00a0it was only about 10 percent.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Read the rest of this interesting article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scientificamerican.com\/article\/maternal-health-care-is-disappearing-in-rural-america\/?WT.mc_id=SA_FB_HLTH_NEWS\">here<\/a> to learn more about the decrease in maternal health care in rural parts of america<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An article was released to discuss the growing concern for the lack of maternal care in rural parts of America: &#8220;Maternal mortality is also significantly higher in rural areas.\u00a0Scientific American\u00a0analyzed public mortality data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and found that in 2015 the maternal mortality rate in large central metropolitan [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[193,54,211],"class_list":["post-2823","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general-posts","tag-health-disparities","tag-maternal-health","tag-rural-health"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
