We aimed to evaluate and estimate the global prevalence of coronavirus\u2010associated <jats:italic>C. auris<\/jats:italic> infection (CACa).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We searched related databases between December 2019 and April 2022 for studies that reported data about CACa. Meta\u2010analysis was performed using MedCalc software version 20.104 according to the DerSimonian and Laird method applying the random\u2010effects model. We evaluated heterogeneity using the \u03c7<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\u2010based Q statistic (significant for <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2010value\u2009&lt;\u2009.1) and the <jats:italic>I<\/jats:italic><jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> statistic (&gt;75% indicative of \u2018notable\u2019 heterogeneity).

The overall pooled prevalence of CACa was estimated at 5.7%. The mortality rate of CACa was estimated at 67.849%. Hypertension was the most prevalent comorbidity (59.374%), followed by diabetes mellitus (52.898%) and cardiovascular diseases (31.392%). Men with a prevalence rate of 80.012% were 3.27 (OR) times more prone to getting infected by <jats:italic>C. auris<\/jats:italic>.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>We concluded that the prevalence of <jats:italic>C. auris<\/jats:italic> infections decreased during the COVID\u201019 pandemic and the prevalence gradient changed from Asia to America. Unfortunately, there are many descriptive studies with duplicate content in the field of epidemiology of <jats:italic>C. auris<\/jats:italic> infections which are increasing every day. We suggest further non\u2010descriptive studies to accurately establish the cause\u2010and\u2010effect relationships between <jats:italic>C. auris<\/jats:italic> and COVID\u201019
