Implication

Narrative review examines the relationship between prenatal care quality and adverse outcomes in infants, suggesting significant deficiencies persist.

Key Points

Inadequate prenatal care is strongly linked to higher infant and neonatal mortality rates, indicating serious gaps.
Sixty-six percent of included studies failed to meet the essential criteria of the Prenatal and Birth Humanization Program in Brazil.
Prevalent issues in prenatal care include late initiation, incomplete testing, and insufficient support for partners, which must be addressed.
Improvements in perinatal outcomes require standardized indicators and integrated strategies to enhance the quality of care offered.
