Abstract
This study aimed at assessing the adverse outcomes of pregnancy in women with endometriosis. The Cochrane, Embase and PubMed databases were searched for identifying the required studies published before June 2019. Meta-analyses of relative risk (RR) were performed under the random-effects model to estimate the risk of selected adverse outcomes of pregnancy in females with endometriosis. Twenty-eight studies (53,141 women with and 2,355,923 women without endometriosis data) were selected for meta-analysis. Endometriosis bearing females had a significantly higher risk placenta previa (RR 3.92 [95% CI 2.48-6.20]), miscarriage (RR 1.31 [95% CI 1.06-1.61), gestational hypertension (RR 1.30 [95% CI 1.02-1.65]), cesarean section (RR 1.48 [95% CI 1.33-1.65]) and preeclampsia (RR 1.18 [95% CI 1.09-1.28]). The incidence of placental abruption was not statistically significant between the groups (RR 3.62 [95% CI [0.99-13.28]). Women suffering from endometriosis are at higher risks of miscarriage, preterm birth, gestational hypertension, placenta previa, cesarean section, and preeclampsia.
