Abstract: Background: The magnitude of adverse birth outcome among diabetic pregnant women is high in low-and-middle income countries, like Ethiopia. Precise epidemiological evidence is necessary to plan, evaluate and improve effective preventive measures. This systematic review and meta-analysis is the first to estimate the pooled prevalence of adverse birth outcome and associated factors among diabetic pregnant women in Ethiopia. Methods: PubMed, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, SCOPUS, Web of Science and PsycINFO, and article found in University online repository were accessed. Observational studies such as cross-sectional, case-control and prospective cohort reported using English language was involved. I2 statistic was used to check heterogeneity. Egger’s test and funnel plot were used to measure publication bias. Weighted inverse variance random effects model was also performed. Results: Seven studies with 1,225 study participants were retrieved to estimate the pooled prevalence of adverse birth outcome and associated factors. The pooled prevalence of adverse birth outcome among diabetic pregnant women was 5.3% [95% CI; 1.61, 17.41]. Fasting blood glucose level above 100 mg/dl [Adjusted Odds ratio (AOR) = 10.51; 95% Confidence Interval (CI) = 5.90, 15.12], two hour post prandial glucose level above 120 mg/dl [AOR = 8.77; 95% CI = 4.51, 13.03], gestational age
