Background: The relationship between serum calcium levels and
pregnancy-induced hypertension is controversial. This work aimed to evaluate the
relationship between serum calcium levels and the risk of pregnancy-induced
hypertension. Methods: The following database: Chinese National
Knowledge Infrastructure and PubMed, were searched to identify articles on the
relationship between serum calcium levels and pregnancy-induced hypertension. The
meta-analysis was conducted by using Review Manager (RevMan) [Computer program]. Results: A total of
twenty one articles included in the present study. The meta-analysis revealed that
patients with pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) had lower calcium levels (standardized weighted mean difference (SMD)
= –0.68; 95% (–0.79, –0.56); p
