AIM: The live birth sex ratio is defined as male/total births (M/F). Terrorist attacks have been associated with a transient decline in M/F 3-5 months later with an excess of male losses in ongoing pregnancies. The early 21st century is replete with religious/politically instigated attacks. This study estimated the pooled effect size between exposure to attacks and M/F. Registration number CRD42016041220. METHODS: PubMed and Scopus were searched for ecological studies that evaluated the relationship between terrorist attacks from 1/1/2000 to 16/6/2016 and M/F. An overall pooled odds ratio (OR) for the main outcome was generated using the generic inverse variance method. RESULTS: Five studies were included: 2011 Norway attacks; 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting; 2001 September 11 attacks; 2004 Madrid and 2005 London bombings. OR at 0.97 95% CI (0.94-1.00) (I2 = 63%) showed a small statistically significant 3% decline in the odds (p = 0.03) of having a male live birth 3-5 months later. For lone wolf attacks there was a 10% reduction, OR 0.90 95% CI (0.86-0.95) (p = 0.0001). CONCLUSION: Terrorist (especially lone wolf) attacks were significantly associated with reduced odds of having a live male birth. Pregnancy loss remains an important Public Health challenge. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses considering other calamities are warranted.

International terrorism becomes one of the most dangerous problems at the beginning of the 21st century. Terrorist attacks have serious impact on politics, economy, military as well as security forces, international law and legislation, and psychological issues. International terrorism is legally characterised not only as a threat to the life and property of individuals, but also as a worldwide threat to human civilization, social order, international public order and values. The aim of this contribution is to specify the incidence of terrorist attacks from 1970 to 2013 in European countries and to characterise their imminent impact on the number of casualties. Furthermore, the contribution aims to specify the type of these attacks, weapons employed in them and numbers of casualties corresponding to various types of weapons. The analysis was based on data from databases and existing studies. The monitored period witnessed a slow but steady increase in the incidence of terrorist attacks in the EU countries without any significant changes. The types of weapons employed in these attacks did not change much, either.
