We performed a chart review of adults admitted to Bo Government Hospital
during 2019. Of 893 admissions,149 (59% female, mean age 58.5 years) had a
laboratory diagnosis of malaria and 22 (14.8%) died. Mortality was
significantly higher among patients with severe malaria compared with
those who had non-severe malaria (6/20 [30%] versus 16/129
[12.4%], p=0.031). Our data suggest that malaria is a common
cause of death in hospitalized Sierra Leonean adults. A retrospective chart review was
conducted. Data were extracted from the
medical charts of adults admitted to one of three adult medical wards
during 2019. Collected data were entered into a spreadsheet, including
age, sex, results of diagnostic testing for malaria, information on the
severity of malaria, and patient outcome. Any software that can accommodate datasets in csv format can be
used to open the data files.
