abstract="OBJECTIVE The meta-analysis aims to estimate the prevalence of suicide plan among college students in mainland China, and to provide more clues and reference for control and prevention of suicide. <br><br>METHODS The relevant studies were systematically searched via electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, CNKI, Wan Fang Data, VIP). We only selected original articles that either reported on Chinese retrieval words of &quot;college students&quot; &quot;undergraduate&quot; &quot;university&quot; &quot;college&quot; &quot;colleges and universities&quot; &quot;suicide plans&quot; &quot;detection rate&quot; &quot;prevalence&quot; &quot;report rate&quot;, and the English retrieval words of &quot;undergraduate&quot; &quot;college&quot; &quot;university&quot; &quot;suicide&quot; &quot;suicidality&quot; &quot;suicide plans&quot; &quot;suicidal plans suicide intending&quot; &quot;prevalence&quot; &quot;report rate&quot; &quot;detection rate&quot; &quot;China&quot; &quot;Chinese&quot;. And Stata 12.0 software was used to make a meta-analysis of the data. <br><br>RESULTS A total of 18 eligible studies, with 47071 college students, were finally included. The maximum and minimum reported prevalence of suicidal plan among college students in China mainland was 4. 4 % (95 % C I: 3.4%-5.4%).Subgroup analyses showed that the pooled estimate of suicidal plan of boys(5.4%) was higher than girls' (4. 2 %); The prevalence among college students from earth, middle and west areas were 5. 1 %, 2. 7 %, 4. 5 %, respectively; The prevalence among college students in 2010 and after (4. 4 %) was higher than that before 2010 (4. 3 %), The prevalence among college students of life time suicide plan (4. 9 %) was higher than that during the past 12 months (4. 0 %), but there was no statistical significance in the subgroup(P>0.05). Sensitivity analysis suggested that the results of meta-analysis were relatively stable, while funnel plot analysis suggested that publication bias might exist. <br><br>CONCLUSION Prevalence of suicidal plans among college students in mainland China is respectively low, and there was no statistical significance in gender, region, the period of time and simple size. © 2019 Journal Office of Chinese School Health(Bengbu).
