Treatment outcome and associated factors of burn injury in Ethiopian hospitals: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction

Burn injuries impose a substantial burden globally, particularly in low- and middle-income countries like Ethiopia, where the impact is pronounced. Despite existing studies on individual patient data, there 's a lack of synthesized evidence on burn injury mortality in Ethiopia. This study aimed to evaluate the combined prevalence of burn-related mortality and its determinants in Ethiopian hospitals.

Data extraction and quality assessment were conducted using Microsoft Excel 2021 and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, respectively. Statistical analyses were performed using STATA version 17 software.
