A protocol published in BMJ Open outlines a scoping review to investigate pregnancy outcomes in women with vitiligo, led by Dr. Behnaz Esmaeili. The study aims to analyze risks such as preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and stillbirth by mapping existing research. Researchers will follow the Arksey and O'Malley framework, reviewing English-language studies from 2000 to 2025. The project seeks to highlight gaps in the current evidence base and enhance clinical understanding through consultations with obstetricians and pediatric specialists.
