This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to estimate the pooled prevalence of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) among key and vulnerable populations (KVPs) residing in hotspot settings in Ethiopia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Potential papers were searched systematically in PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect databases, Google Scholar search engine, and institutional electronic repositories\/registrars. A total of 34 potential articles that provide necessary information on the prevalence of PTB were reviewed and data were analyzed to determine the pooled prevalence of PTB among KVPs. The relevant data were recorded and analyzed using STATA 17.0. Cohen\u2019s kappa was computed to determine the agreement between reviewers, the Inverse of variance (I\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      ) to evaluate heterogeneity across studies, and Egger\u2019s test to identify publication bias.

Furthermore, the subgroup analysis unveiled the pooled prevalence of PTB among KVPs residing in different hotspot settings as follows: Prison inmates 8.8% (95CI: 5.00\u201312.55%), University students 23.1% (95CI: 15.81\u201330.37%), Refugees 28.4% (95CI: -1.27\u201358.15%), Homeless peoples 5.8% (95CI: -0.67\u201312.35%), Healthcare settings 11.1% (95CI: 0.58\u201321.63%), Spiritual holy water sites attendees 12.3% (95CI: -6.26\u201330.80%), and other high-risk settings 4.3% (95CI: 0.47\u20138.09%). Besides, the subgroup analysis revealed that the pooled prevalence of PTB post-2015 was 10.79% (95CI: 5.94\u201315.64%), whereas it stood at 14.04% (95CI: 10.27\u201317.82%) before 2015.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The prevalence of PTB among KVPs residing in the hotspot settings in Ethiopia remains significant, with a weighted pooled prevalence of 11.7%.
