Abstract

Authors’ conclusions: the migratory status of the parents increases some perinatal risks. These risks are different depending on the migratory category of the progenitors (family, economic or refugee).

Reviewers’ commentary: the adverse perinatal effects in newborns from the immigrant population are greater compared to the native population and are worse in the refugee group. These differences must be taken into account to provide adequate health and social services in these families.
