Results: the initial search for information reported a total of 1718 records, of which 86 were eligible, of these 56 were not relevant, so 30 are included that allowed the fulfillment of the study objectives with which the meta-analysis was carried out. Conclusions: The factors associated with the lack of prenatal control are: low level of education, home occupations and upbringing, lack of employment, limited economic resources, geographic location, lack of affiliation, beliefs and customs.
