Five databases were searched: PubMed, Embase, CINAHL Complete, PsycINFO and Scopus. Two reviewers performed title and abstract and full\u2010text screening independently. Standard Quality Assessment Criteria were used to assess the articles' qualities. Key information was extracted into evidence table, which was checked for accuracy and completeness. A narrative synthesis was conducted.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 30 articles were included. Studies were conducted in 16 countries, mostly in Europe (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a09) and North America (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a07). The majority were quantitative (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a027) and cross\u2010sectional (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a027). Factor analysis was the most frequently used analytic methodology (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a021). All three qualitative studies used grounded theory. Taking into consideration the variations among the studies, stress (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a015, infant or partner\u2010related and from other sources), depression (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a012), somatic (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a012) and anxiety clusters (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a010) were most frequently identified. Symptom cluster predictors were examined in less than half of the included studies (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a013). Among these, most were focused on how individual postpartum symptoms influence symptom clusters.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Stress, depression, somatic and anxiety clusters are the most frequently identified postpartum symptom clusters.
