Preterm birth among Pacific Islanders in the United States and the <scp>US‐affiliated</scp> Pacific Islands: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Data support the need for disaggregation of Pacific Islanders in future research and argue for examination of subgroup-specific outcomes to address perinatal health disparities.
