Abstract：
Globally, PUs are recognized as one of the five most frequent causes of harm to clients. With millions affected globally, the national pooled prevalence of pressure ulcers in Ethiopia remains unknown. Hence, this review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the prevalence of pressure ulcers among hospitalized clients in Ethiopia.
Studies were retrieved through search engines in PubMed, Scopus, WHO Afro Library, Google Scholar, Africa Journals Online, and Web of Science. Heterogeneity between-studies were checked using the I2 test. A funnel plot and Egger\'s regression test was used to assess the presence of publication bias. The random-effect model was fitted to estimate summary effects and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) across studies. The analyses were performed using STATA™ Version 14 software.
The pooled prevalence of pressure ulcer in Ethiopia was assessed using seven studies involving a total of 1881 participants. The pooled prevalence of pressure ulcers in Ethiopia was 11.7% (95% CI: 7.28, 16.13). The subgroup analysis showed that the estimated magnitude of pressure ulcers was 15.89% (95% CI: 13.32, 18.46); among studies, their sample size was greater than or equal to 250.
The current review reported that the pooled prevalence of pressure ulcers in Ethiopia was relatively high. Hence, policymaker and healthcare providers should give attention to reduce the magnitude of pressure ulcers. Furthermore, further a meta-analysis study could be conducted to identify individual and health care service-related factors related to the occurrence of pressure ulcers.

摘要：
全球范围内,PU被认为是对客户造成伤害的五个最常见原因之一。全球有数百万人受到影响，埃塞俄比亚压疮的全国汇总患病率仍然未知.因此，本综述和荟萃分析旨在确定埃塞俄比亚住院患者压疮的患病率.
研究是通过PubMed中的搜索引擎检索的，Scopus,世卫组织非洲图书馆，谷歌学者，非洲在线期刊，和WebofScience。使用I2检验检查研究之间的异质性。漏斗图和Egger回归检验用于评估发表偏倚的存在。随机效应模型被拟合以估计整个研究的汇总效应和95%置信区间(CI)。使用STATA™版本14软件进行分析。
使用7项研究评估了埃塞俄比亚压疮的合并患病率，共1881名参与者。埃塞俄比亚合并压疮的患病率为11.7%(95%CI:7.28,16.13)。亚组分析显示，压疮的估计幅度为15.89%（95%CI：13.32，18.46）；在研究中，他们的样本量大于或等于250。
目前的综述报道，埃塞俄比亚合并压疮的患病率相对较高。因此，政策制定者和医疗保健提供者应注意减少压疮的程度。此外，进一步进行荟萃分析研究,以确定与压疮发生相关的个体和卫生保健服务相关因素.
