Although the magnitude and determinants of Implanon discontinuation have been studied in Ethiopia, the results were inconsistent, with significant variability. Hence, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed at estimating the pooled prevalence of Implanon discontinuation and its determinants in Ethiopia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A comprehensive search of studies published before 18 February 2022 was done using electronic databases such as PubMed, Embase, Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science, Science Direct, and Cochrane Library. The relevant data were extracted using a Microsoft Excel 2013 and analyzed using STATA Version 16. A random-effect meta-analysis model was used to compute pooled prevalence and odds ratio.

The overall pooled prevalence of Implanon discontinuation in Ethiopia was found to be 32.62% (95% confidence interval\u2009=\u200924.10, 41.13). There was significant heterogeneity among the included studies ( I\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      \u2009=\u200997.4%, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
