Abstract :Objective: This study was conducted to determine the incidence of physical disorders and high-risk situations develop during pregnancy, based on cross-sectional studies conducted in Turkey. Methods: This study was conducted as a systematic review and meta-analysis study that included cross-sectional studies. The scans were carried out in April 2021 through national and international databases using the keywords \"pregnancy, Turkey, hyperemesis, hypertension, preeclampsia, diabetes, urine infection, miscarriage, premature birth, premature rupture of membranes, placenta previa, abruption placenta\". The methodological quality of the research included in the systematic review was assessed using the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist for Analytical Cross-Sectional Studies prepared by the Joanna Briggs Institute. Data were synthesized by meta-analysis. Results: Nineteen articles were included in this meta-analysis, amounting to a total volume of 159,022 samples. Based on the data, we observed that authors of the meta-analyses estimated a prevalence of 7.8% for gestational diabetes, 16% for urinary infection, 8.7% for premature rupture of membranes, 10% for preterm labour, 2.8% for preeclampsia, 2.7% for gestational hypertension, 0.3% for HELLP syndrome, 4% for hyperemesis gravidarum, 0.1% for eclampsia, 6.6% for threat of miscarriage, 3.8% for miscarriage, 1.2% for a history of bleeding in the third trimester, 0.4% for placental abruption, and 0.3% for placenta previa. Conclusion: In this systematic review, it was concluded that some physical discomfort and high-risk conditions are common during pregnancy. These results may contribute to the planning and delivery of prenatal care services.
