Following the publication of the original article [1], it was noted that due to a typesetting error the figure legends were paired incorrectly. The figure legends for Figs. 2, 4 and 5 were wrongly given as captions for Figs. 5, 2 and 4 respectively.

The correct figures and captions have been included in this correction.

Also, there are some type errors in the main text submitted which need some modifications. Incorrect and correct data are indicate in bold.

In “Data sources and search strategy” section, there is the repetition of phrases:

“antepartum depression” (Mesh), “antepartum depression” (Mesh)” should be changed to “antepartum depression” (Mesh)”.

In “The pooled prevalence of APD in Ethiopia” section:

“The prevalence of atrial fibrillation and flutter (APF) in Ethiopia” should be changed to “Antepartum depression in Ethiopia”

“Despite this heterogeneity, the overall pooled prevalence of APF in Ethiopia” should be changed to “Despite this heterogeneity, the overall pooled prevalence of APD in Ethiopia”

In the last line, “and preventing APF in Ethiopia” should be changed to “and preventing APD in Ethiopia”.

In the “Sensitivity analysis” section:

“the overall estimate of atrial fibrillation and flutter (APF) prevalence in Ethiopia.” should be corrected as “the overall estimate of antepartum depression (APD) prevalence in Ethiopia.”

In the “Factors Associated with APD in Ethiopia” section:

“to be associated with atrial premature depolarization (APD) in Ethiopia.” should be corrected to “to be associated with antepartum depression(APD) in Ethiopia.”

The original article has been corrected.
