Objective: Conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis examining the association between hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) and risk of asthma, eczema, food allergies and allergic rhinitis in the offspring. Design: A systematic review and random-effects meta-analyses were used to synthesize the published literature. PRISMA guidelines were followed throughout. Two independent reviewers carried out data extraction and quality assessment of included studies. Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) was used to assess certainty of findings. Data Sources: A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and CINAHL was performed from inception of databases-21 April 2020, supplemented by handsearching reference lists of included articles. Eligibility Criteria: Two reviewers independently reviewed titles, abstracts and fulltext articles. English language, cohort, case-control and cross-sectional published studies examining the association between HDP (primary exposure: pre-eclampsia; secondary exposures: all other HDP) and asthma, eczema, food allergies and allergic rhinitis were included.
