ABSTRACT=We did this review to identify factors associated with Birth preparedness and complication readiness (BPCR) practice among pregnant women in Ethiopia. BPCR is a comprehensive approach that helps resolve delays in seeking care for obstetric problems. Methods: PRISMA was followed and different databases were used to find studies. Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) with 95% Confidence Interval was used to identify factors. I 2 statistics, funnel plot, and Egger test were used to assess the studies' heterogeneity and publication bias.
