Therefore, the aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to estimate the pooled prevalence of puerperal sepsis and to identify its determinant factors in Ethiopia, thereby providing comprehensive and up-to-date evidence to inform maternal health interventions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;The review was conducted in accordance with the Joanna Briggs Institute methodological guidance for systematic reviews and meta-analyses and reported following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The Systematic review and meta-analysis protocol was pre-registered on PROSPERO with registration number CRD42024619492. Databases including Web of Science, PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, ScienceDirect and gray literature were explored. Initially, 668 studies were identified. Newcastle-Ottawa scale was used to appraise included studies. The review included primary observation studies including cross-sectional, cohort, and case-control studies conducted on postpartum women in Ethiopia. This review excludes reviews, commentaries, case studies and pure qualitative studies. After screening and assessing eligibility criteria sixteen were included in the meta-analysis and systematic review. Data were extracted using an Excel sheet, and STATA version 15 was used for the meta-analysis. Heterogeneity among studies was evaluated using the Cochrane Q test and I&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; statistic. A funnel plot and Egger's test were used to assess publication bias.

Secondary outcomes were Major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE), Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), Anaerobic threshold (AT), Metabolic equivalent of task (METs), and Maximal oxygen consumption (VO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; max). The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias assessment tool, version 2.0 (RoB 2). Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software. Sensitivity analysis and subgroup analysis were performed using Stata software. In addition, Publication bias was evaluated using funnel plots and Egger's test.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;A total of 56 RCTs involving 5152 patients were included in the study. Compared with the control group, the Baduanjin group showed superior improvement in LVEF (MD = 5.55%, 95% CI [4.28%, 6.82%], P &lt; 0.01, I&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; = 94%), 6MWT (MD = 57.68m, 95% CI [40.20m, 75.17m], P &lt; 0.01, I&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; = 100%), MACE (RR = 0.33, 95% CI [0.26, 0.42], P &lt; 0.01, I&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; = 0%), SAQ-PL (MD = 7.49 points, 95% CI [4.78 points, 10.20 points], P &lt; 0.01, I&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; = 91%), SAQ-AS (MD = 12.88 points, 95% CI [10.76 points, 15.00 points], P &lt; 0.01, I&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; = 77%), SAQ-DS (MD = 11.30 points, 95% CI [5.14 points, 17.45 points], P &lt; 0.01, I&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; = 98%), SAQ-AF (MD = 10.90 points, 95% CI [6.05 points, 15.75 points], P &lt; 0.01, I&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; = 98%), SAQ-TS (MD = 8.04 points, 95% CI [2.30 points, 13.78 points], P &lt; 0.01, I&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; = 98%), SAS (MD = - 7.01 points, 95% CI [- 8.05 points, - 5.96 points], P &lt; 0.01, I&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; = 58%), SDS (MD = - 6.67 points, 95% CI [- 8.34 points, - 5.00 points], P &lt; 0.01, I&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; = 89%), VO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;peak (MD = 1.81 mL/kg/min, 95% CI [0.82 mL/kg/min, 2.80 mL/kg/min], P &lt; 0.01, I&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; = 96%), AT (MD = 1.18 mL/kg/min, 95% CI [0.66 mL/kg/min, 1.69 mL/kg/min], P &lt; 0.01, I&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; = 96%), and METs (MD = 0.61 METs, 95% CI [0.32 METs, 0.90 METs], P &lt; 0.01, I&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; = 83%) when compared to control groups.
