Patient-Reported Burdens of Undergoing Antenatal Fetal Surveillance

The authors aimed to assess the patient-reported burdens associated with attending antenatal fetal surveillance (AFS) in high-risk pregnancies, particularly examining how visit frequency and demographic factors influenced these burdens. Their findings revealed that a significant proportion of patients reported experiencing various burdens, with those attending twice-weekly visits facing greater challenges related to work, finances, and childcare. The study highlights the need for more patient-centered approaches in AFS to enhance care and minimize negative impacts on patients' lives.
