Therefore, this study aimed estimate pooled SSI its associated factors among postoperative Methods PubMed, Scopus, Psyinfo, African Journals Online, Google Scholar were searched for that looked at patients. A funnel plot Egger’s regression test used determine publication bias. The I2 statistic was check heterogeneity between studies. DerSimonian Laird random-effects model applied effect size, odds ratios (ORs), 95% confidence interval (CIs) across subgroup analysis conducted by region, sample year publication. Sensitivity deployed single overall estimation. Analysis done using STATA™ Version 14 software. Result total 24 13,136 participants included study. estimated Ethiopia 12.3% (95% CI: 10.19, 14.42).
