Risk Factors of Marginal Cord Insertion in Singleton Pregnancies: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background: Marginal cord insertion (MCI) is increasingly recognized as a pathological variation that necessitates early diagnosis. Identifying the risk factors associated with MCI is essential for improving prenatal screening and optimizing management strategies. Our meta-analysis systematically and quantitatively synthesizes the current evidence on various potential risk factors for MCI. Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis adhered to the PRISMA and MOOSE guidelines. Comprehensive searches were performed in three databases up until 6 May 2024, identifying observational cohort and case-control studies that examined risk factors for MCI in singleton pregnancies compared with central or eccentric cord insertion. Quality and risk of bias assessment were performed u
