[# PeerJ Staff Note: Please ensure that all review comments are addressed in a rebuttal letter and any edits or clarifications mentioned in the letter are also inserted into the revised manuscript where appropriate. It is a common mistake to address reviewer questions in the rebuttal letter but not in the revised manuscript. If a reviewer raised a question then your readers will probably have the same question so you should ensure that the manuscript can stand alone without the rebuttal letter.

Additional comments

I'm very glad to review your manuscript. We found that the author explained the updated meta-analysis of risk factors associated with adverse pregnancy in Chinese women. However, during the trial, we found some problems that need to be modified by the author.

1.The abbreviations appearing for the first time in the abstract and manuscript need to be defined. Please check the full text.
2.Cite others’ literature and compare it with this study to explore its possible mechanisms in the section of Discussion.
3. Please elaborate on the core differences between the meta-analysis you have done and the published meta-analysis with the similar name.
4.In the past five years, the citations of relevant literature should exceed 80%.
5. Are there clear conceptual definitions for the key variables, and are the variables available from the primary studies appropriate given the conceptual definitions above?
6. Are the methods used to extract data from studies justifiable, clearly documented, and repeatable?
7. Please pay attention to English grammar, sentence structure and reformat the paper according to the requirement of the journal.
