Abstract The Inactivated Polio Vaccine (IPV) protects against all strains of the polio virus and poses no risk of vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis. However, its coverage remains below an optimal level in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), and instances of vaccine-derived poliovirus have been reported. While several studies explored vaccine coverage, research specifically focused on IPV in SSA remains limited.

HIV-TB co-infection poses a significant public health threat, notably in sub-Saharan Africa including Ethiopia. Despite this public health problem, studies in Ethiopia regarding the mortality of HIV-TB co-infection patients have been inconsistent, and the overall estimate of mortality was not determined. Accordingly, this meta-analysis aims to assess the magnitude of mortality and predictors among HIV-TB co-infected patients in Ethiopia.
