Abstract | Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a growing public health concern globally, including Ethiopia. Although numerous studies have been published from different parts of Ethiopia, no attempt is made so far to estimate the burden of DM at the national level. This study aims to estimate the pooled prevalence of DM and its association with hypertension in Ethiopia. Methods: A systematic search was conducted in major databases. Two authors extracted the necessary data and analysis was conducted using STATA version 14. Heterogeneity across the studies was evaluated by Cochran’s Q test and I2 statistics. Results: Eighteen studies with a total of 45,284 participants were included in this review. The pooled prevalence of DM was 4.99% (95% CI: 3.86%, 6.11%). Hypertension was significantly associated with DM (OR: 8.32; 95% CI: 3.05, 22.71). Conclusion: The burden of DM in Ethiopia is considerable, and the association between diabetes and hypertension is significant. Based on the evidence, this review recommends establishing the coordinated national programs that counteract the increasing burden of DM in the country is very essential. In addition, early hypertension screening should be done in diabetic patients to control co-morbidity and further complications. |
