The aim of this qualitative evidence synthesis was to gain insight into stakeholders' experiences and perspectives of PPI in maternal and neonatal trials.<h4>Methods</h4>CINAHL, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Maternity and Infant Care (OVID) were searched from inception dates to September 2023, supplemented by a search of Google Scholar. Eligibility screening and quality appraisal of each included record were independently undertaken by two reviewers. Data extracted from the included records were thematically synthesised using Thomas and Harden's approach.<h4>Results</h4>Nine reHealth expectations : an international journal of public participation in health care and health policye70495https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC12657262biostudies-literatureStakeholders' Experiences and Perspectives of Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) in Maternal and Neonatal Clinical Trials: A Qualitative Evidence Synthesis.PMC12657262Smith VHannon KEustace-Cook JDaly DfalseStakeholders' Experiences and Perspectives of Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) in Maternal and Neonatal Clinical Trials: A Qualitative Evidence Synthesis.<h4>Introduction</h4>While there is a growing emphasis on Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) within maternal and neonatal research, there is a lack of evidence on how PPI is currently implemented.
