Rotavirus infections and their genotype distribution pre- and post-vaccine introduction in Ethiopia: a systemic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Rotavirus infections are a significant cause of severe diarrhea and related illness and death in children under five worldwide. Despite the global introduction of vaccinations for rotavirus over a decade ago, rotavirus infections still result in high deaths annually, mainly in low-income countries, including Ethiopia, and need special attention. This system review and meta-analysis aimed to comprehensively explore the positive proportion of rotavirus at pre- and post-vaccine introduction periods and genotype distribution in children under five with diarrhea in Ethiopia.

Methods

The review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines. Database sources included PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE, and Epistemonikos, foc
