Low utilization of maternal and reproductive health services is a primary reason for poor pregnancy outcomes, and it worsens during pandemics.
“One of the primary reasons for poor pregnancy outcomes is the low utilization of maternal and reproductive health services, which worsens during pandemics [2].”
From Community-based referral transportation system for accessing emergency obstetric services in the Rohingya refugee camp during the COVID-19 pandemic in Bangladesh: facilitators and barriers through beneficiaries’ and providers’ lens using a mixed-method design (2022) · cites this paper as [2]
In “Maintaining essential health services is vital to reduce additional deaths from COVID-19” (page unavailable), the paper reports significant decreases in maternal and reproductive health visits in Ebola-affected countries and describes how pandemic responses can reduce access to care. It does not say that low service utilization is a primary reason for poor pregnancy outcomes or establish that specific link to pregnancy outcomes. (LLM, conf=0.87)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
