Use of Electronic Patient Portals in Pregnancy: An Overview.

This is a narrative review, not an original study, and the supplied text does not state how studies were searched, selected, or assessed. Most cited evidence comes from non-pregnant adults, especially diabetes management, so it may not apply to pregnancy. The review states no current literature explores the effect of patient portals on pregnancy outcomes. Many cited findings describe portal registration, log-ins, access, or satisfaction rather than clinical outcomes. The review does not provide original data about local populations, so it cannot show which patients will benefit in a specific clinic.

The authors declare no conflicts of interest. No funding source is stated in the supplied text.

Do not conclude that electronic patient portals improve pregnancy outcomes. The review says no current literature explores their effects on pregnancy outcomes, and evidence from other populations does not establish benefit for pregnant patients.
