A total of 37 trials, conducted between 1976 and 2002 and comprising over 14000 women were identified and included in the meta-analyses. There was a significant increasing in the odds of women who quit smoking in late pregnancy in the intervention group (OR = 1.6; 95% CI 1.4-1.8). The effectiveness of the intervention was significantly higher in the studies that smoking cessation intervention included written materials for pregnant women then in the studies without those materials.
