The factors can be classified into different categories: socio demographic, obstetric, reproductive health, medical, behavioral and nutritional related.

Cross sectional, case control and cohort study published in English were included. There was no restriction on publication period. Studies with no abstracts and or full texts, editorials, and qualitative in design were excluded. Funnel plot was used to check publication bias. I-squared statistic was used to check heterogeneity.
