    Health records from hospitalized adults with malaria during 2019 at Bo Government Hospital, Sierra Leone
    (Dryad, 2023-02-09) Aimone, Ashley
    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.
