However, the impact of endometriosis on pregnancy and perinatal outcomes following ART remains controversial. This study aimed to clarify the association between endometriosis and adverse pregnancy and perinatal outcomes through a meta-analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library was conducted to identify relevant studies published before March 12, 2025. Cohort studies comparing adverse pregnancy and perinatal outcomes between women with and without endometriosis undergoing ART were included. Meta-analysis was performed using STATA 12.0 and R 4.3.2 software to calculate risk ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the association between endometriosis and adverse outcomes.

Compared with women without endometriosis, those with endometriosis undergoing ART had significantly lower clinical pregnancy rate (RR 0.850, 95% CI 0.726\u20130.994, 95% PI 0.570\u20131.267) and live birth rate (RR 0.716, 95% CI 0.556\u20130.923, 95% PI 0.341\u20131.504). They were also at higher risk for preterm birth (RR 1.277, 95% CI 1.187\u20131.373, 95% PI 1.024\u20131.591), placenta previa (RR 2.246, 95% CI 1.759\u20132.869, 95% PI 1.028\u20134.910), postpartum hemorrhage (RR 1.310, 95% CI 1.198\u20131.432, 95% PI 1.154\u20131.486), cesarean section (RR 1.296, 95% CI 1.165\u20131.441, 95% PI 0.944\u20131.779), low birth weight (RR 1.159, 95% CI 1.050\u20131.279, 95% PI 1.025\u20131.310), stillbirth (RR 1.219, 95% CI 1.032\u20131.440, 95% PI 0.930\u20131.597), and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (RR 1.161, 95% CI 1.096\u20131.231, 95% PI 1.057\u20131.276).
