Chapter 2 40 Figure 2.3 - Meta-analyses of prevalence of unintended pregnancies in women with psychiatric vulnerability. Figure 2.4 - Meta-analysis of OR of unintended pregnancy between women with and without psychiatric vulnerability. Conclusions Principal findings This systematic review shows that studies on UPs in women with psychiatric vulnerability are sparse, and for many relevant psychiatric disorders (such as personality disorders, autism spectrum disorder and trauma related disorders) the risk for UPs remains unknown. However, the studies that have been conducted suggest that psychiatric vulnerability is a risk factor for UPs: women with a psychiatric vulnerability have an overall higher risk of UPs compared to women without a psychiatric vulnerability (OR 1.34, CI 1.08–1.67) and an overall weighed prevalence of UPs of 65% (CI 0.43–0.82). As most studies have explored UPs leading to (live) births and did not include or explore UPs leading to abortions, it is likely that this overall prevalence of UPs is even underestimated.
