Scabies, a neglected tropical disease affecting around 200 million people globally and causing over 455 million new cases annually, disproportionately affects displaced populations due to overcrowding, poor hygiene, and limited healthcare access. However, global evidence on its prevalence among these groups remains inconsistent. This study aimed to estimate the global pooled prevalence of scabies among forcibly displaced populations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Systematic searches were conducted in PubMed, Epistemonikos, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Embase for studies published up to May 28, 2025, supplemented by hand-searches using Google and Google Scholar to capture any additional relevant studies. Data were extracted using Microsoft Excel 2021 and analyzed with STATA version 17. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Only studies that met the predefined inclusion criteria were included. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale assessed study quality. A random-effects model was used to calculate pooled prevalence. Heterogeneity was measured using the Galbraith plot and the I\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      statistic, while publication bias with funnel plots and Egger\u2019s regression test.

Prevalence varies by region, study setting, population group, and data collection method. Prevalence was highest in Asia (25%), followed by Europe (13%) and Africa (7%). Refugees showed the highest prevalence (23%), compared to IDPs (13%), asylum seekers (2%), and refugee-asylum seekers (2%). Among population groups, prevalence was highest in combined adult\u2013child populations (66%), patients (24%), and school-aged children (15%), women and children under 15 years (6%), the general population (2%), and unaccompanied minors (1%). Studies using both clinical exams and Questionnaires reported a higher prevalence (27%) than those using clinical exams alone (14%) and interviews or physical examination only (3% and 2%, respectively).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Scabies poses a significant health (15%) burden among forcibly displaced populations.
