职业性呼吸道疾病是全球主要的公共卫生问题，特别是对工业工人而言。一些研究调查了埃塞俄比亚各地的职业性呼吸道症状。调查结果不一致，不确定，没有关于这一问题的全国代表性数据。因此，本研究旨在估计埃塞俄比亚（2010-2022年）工业工人职业性呼吸道症状的合并患病率和相关因素。根据系统性综述和荟萃分析框架指南的首选报告项目，对多个国际数据库进行了检索，包括PubMed、CINAHL、African Journals Online、Hinari、Global Health和Google scholar。使用STATA 14分析提取的数据。采用随机效应模型估计效应量。Egger回归检验和I2统计量分别用于确定综述文章中潜在的发表偏倚和异质性。荟萃分析共纳入15项研究，5，135名参与者，显示埃塞俄比亚工业工人职业性呼吸道症状的合并患病率为51.6%（95%CI：43.6-59.6）。缺乏个人防护设备（OR = 1.97，95%CI：[1.17-3.32]），缺乏职业健康安全培训（OR = 3.04，95% CI：[2.36-3.93]），既往粉尘暴露（OR = 3.17，95%CI：[2.3-4.37]），工作环境差（OR = 2.4，95% CI：[1.7-3.2]），工作经验大于5年（OR = 4.04，95%CI：[1.61-10.16]）、吸烟（OR = 6.91，95%CI：[2.94-16.2]）和既往呼吸系统疾病（OR = 4.25，95%CI：[2.44-7.42]）与症状相关。埃塞俄比亚工业工人职业性呼吸道症状的高发率突出表明迫切需要采取有效的干预措施。政府、行业业主和其他利益相关者提供个人防护设备和改善工作环境对减少职业性呼吸道症状至关重要。此外，优先对行业工人进行职业健康和安全培训可以帮助预防和减轻职业呼吸道疾病的影响。本系统性综述已在国际前瞻性系统性综述登记研究（PROSPERO）中注册，具体注册号为CRD 42022383745。
Occupational respiratory diseases are major global public health problems, particularly for industry workers. Several studies have investigated occupational respiratory symptoms in various parts of Ethiopia. The findings have been inconsistent and inconclusive, and there is no nationally representative data on the subject. Therefore, this study aimed to estimate the pooled prevalence and factors associated with occupational respiratory symptoms among industry workers in Ethiopia (2010–2022). Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis framework Guidelines, search was conducted on several international databases including PubMed, CINAHL, African Journals Online, Hinari, Global Health, and Google scholar. The extracted data was analyzed using STATA 14. Random effect model was used to estimate the effect size. Egger regression test and I2 statistics were used to determine potential publication bias and heterogeneity, respectively among the reviewed articles. The meta-analysis included a total of 15 studies with 5,135 participants, revealing a pooled prevalence of 51.6% (95% CI: 43.6–59.6) for occupational respiratory symptoms among industry workers in Ethiopia. The absence of personal protective equipment (OR = 1.97, 95% CI: [1.17–3.32]), lack of occupational health and safety training (OR = 3.04, 95% CI: [2.36–3.93]), previous dust exposure (OR = 3.17, 95% CI: [2.3–4.37]), poor working environment (OR = 2.4, 95% CI: [1.7–3.2]), work experience greater than five years (OR = 4.04, 95% CI: [1.61–10.16]), smoking (OR = 6.91, 95% CI: [2.94–16.2]), and previous respiratory illness (OR = 4.25, 95% CI: [2.44–7.42]) were found to associate with the symptoms. The high prevalence of occupational respiratory symptoms among industry workers in Ethiopia underscores the urgent need for effective interventions. The provision of personal protective equipment and improvement of working environments by the government, industry owners, and other stakeholders are crucial in reducing occupational respiratory symptoms. Additionally, prioritizing occupational health and safety training for industry workers can help prevent and mitigate the impact of occupational respiratory diseases. This systematic review has been registered in the International Prospective Registry of Systematic Review (PROSPERO) with a specific registration number CRD42022383745.
