The secondary objective was to extract the main domains of obstetric violence perceived by women from qualitative studies. Following prospective registration (PROSPERO CRD42023468570), PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, CINAHL, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched with no restrictions. Included studies were cross\u2010sectional, cohort, mixed methods, and qualitative studies based on populations from high\u2010income countries. The review was conducted by two independent reviewers. Risk of bias was assessed. Rates of obstetric violence were pooled using random effects model, computing 95% confidence intervals (CI) and assessing heterogeneity using I<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> statistic. Funnel plots and Egger's test were used to detect potential reporting biases and small\u2010study effects.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of the 1821 records screened, 25 studies were included: 14 quantitative and 2 mixed methods studies, comprising 60\u2009987 women, and 9 qualitative studies were included, comprising an additional 4356 women. 81.25% of quantitative studies, including the quantitative component of the mixed methods studies, were considered satisfactory or better regarding risk of bias. The prevalence of obstetric violence was overall 45.3% (95% CI 27.5\u201363.0; I<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\u2009=\u2009100.0%). The prevalence of specific forms of mistreatment was also estimated. Lack of access to analgesia was 17.3% (95% CI 6.9\u201327.7; I<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\u2009=\u200999.7%). Ignored requests for help was 19.2% (95% CI 11.7\u201326.6; I<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\u2009=\u200999.0%). Shouting and scolding 19.7% (95% CI 13.0\u201326.4; I<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\u2009=\u200998.7%). The use of fundal pressure during the second stage of labor (Kristeller maneuver) was 30.3% (95% CI 22.1\u201338.5; I<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\u2009=\u200997.6%). There was no funnel asymmetry.
