Mortality rate and predictors of COVID-19 inpatients in Ethiopia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is an extremely rare virus that devastates the economy and claims human lives. Despite countries' urgent and tenacious public health responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, the disease is killing a large number of people. The results of prior studies have not been used by policymakers and programmers due to the presence of conflicting results. As a result, this study was conducted to fill the knowledge gap and develop a research agenda.

Objective

This study aimed to assess the mortality rate and predictors of COVID-19 hospitalized patients in Ethiopia.

Methods

Electronic databases were searched to find articles that were conducted using a retrospective cohort study design and published in Englis
