It is uncertain whether malaria is an important cause of death among adults in endemic areas. 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%], =0.031). Our results suggest that malaria is a common cause of death in hospitalized Sierra Leonian adults.
在疟疾流行地区，疟疾是否是成年人死亡的一个重要原因尚不确定。我们对2019年入住博政府医院的成年人进行了病历审查。在893例入院病例中，149例（59%为女性，平均年龄58.5岁）经实验室诊断为疟疾，其中22例（14.8%）死亡。与非重症疟疾患者相比，重症疟疾患者的死亡率显著更高（20例中有6例[30%]，而129例非重症疟疾患者中有16例[12.4%]，P = 0.031）。我们的结果表明，疟疾是住院的塞拉利昂成年人死亡的常见原因。
