BackgroundElevated triglycerides are a feature of the metabolic syndrome, maternal obesity, maternal vasculitis (i.e. systemic lupus erythematosus) and diabetes mellitus. These conditions are all known risk factors for pre-eclampsia. Hypertriglyceridaemia therefore may be associated with pre-eclampsia and indeed this may precede the presence of overt disease.ObjectiveIn this study we determine the association between hypertriglyceridaemia and pre-eclampsia in pregnant women.Search strategyWe searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, Excerpta Medica Database, ISI Web of Knowledge, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Cochrane Library from inception until June 2012 and reference lists of relevant studies.Selection criteriaTwo reviewers independently selected studies on pregnant women where triglycerides were measured and women were followed up until the development of pre-eclampsia or selected on the basis of presence of pre-eclampsia and compared with controls.Data collection and analysisWe collected and meta-analysed the weighted mean differences (WMDs) of triglyceride levels from individual studies using a random effects model.Main resultsWe found strong evidence from meta-analysis of 24 case-control studies (2720 women) that pre-eclampsia is associated with higher levels of serum triglycerides (WMD 0.78mmol/l, 95% confidence interval 0.6-0.96, P
