Previously, studies showed inconsistent results and failed to show the actual picture of the diseases in Ethiopia. Thus, the aim of this meta-analysis was, first, to determine the updated pooled prevalence of syphilis among pregnant women in Ethiopia and, second, to assess its associated factors.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A comprehensive search was made on PubMed, Google scholar, Science Direct, and African Journals Online databases to identify relevant articles. A random effects model was used to estimate pooled syphilis prevalence and odds ratio (OR) with the respective 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using STATA 14 statistical software.<jats:italic>I<\/jats:italic><jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>statistics and Egger\u2019s regression test in conjunction with funnel plot was used to determine heterogeneity and publication bias among included studies respectively.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Result<\/jats:title><jats:p>We identified 13 suitable studies in this analysis. Accordingly, the pooled prevalence of syphilis among pregnant women in Ethiopia was 2.32% (95% CI, 1.68\u20132.97). Specifically, syphilis prevalence was 2.53% (95% CI, 1.92\u20133.14%) and 1.90% (95% CI, 0.40\u20133.40%) as per the treponemal and non-ytreponemal diagnostic test, respectively. On the other hand, regional analysis indicated that 4.06% (95% CI, 2.86\u20135.26) in Southern Nations Nationalities and Peoples (SNNP), 2.16% (95% CI, 1.57\u20132.75) in Amhara and 1.46% (95% CI, 0.69\u20132.23) in Oromia region. Being married (OR, 0.37 (95% CI, 0.12\u20130.91%)) was less likely to develop syphilis. On the other hand, women with history of multiple sexual partner (OR, 2.98 (95% CI, 1.15\u20137.70)) and women with history of previous sexually transmitted infection (STI) (OR, 4.88 (95% CI, 1.35\u201317.62)) have higher risk to develop syphilis. Besides, the pooled syphilis-HIV coinfection was 0.80% (95% CI, 0.60\u20131.01%).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study provides evidence of relatively high prevalence of syphilis among pregnant women in Ethiopia.
