We included 11 studies, including 2912 pregnancies in women with cirrhosis from 1982\u20132020. Seven studies were eligible for inclusion in the meta\u2010analysis. The overall maternal mortality rate was 0.89%. Maternal mortality and variceal haemorrhage were lower in recent than in older studies. Most cases of maternal mortality due to variceal haemorrhage (70%) occurred during vaginal delivery. Pregnant women with liver cirrhosis had a higher chance of preterm delivery (OR 6.7, 95% CI 5.1\u20139.1), caesarean section (OR 2.6, 95% CI 1.7\u20133.9), pre\u2010eclampsia (OR 3.8, 95% CI 2.2\u20136.5) and small\u2010for\u2010gestational\u2010age neonates (OR 2.6, 95% CI 1.6\u20134.2) compared with the general obstetric population.
