Prevalence of and characteristics associated with in-hospital mortality in a Ugandan neurology ward

BMC Neurology Feb 05, 2020

Diaz MM, Hu X, Fenton BT, et al. - Among individuals (n = 335) admitted to the neurology ward within Mulago Hospital, the country’s largest tertiary care referral center, the researchers longitudinally described the prevalence of neurological disorders and predictors of in-hospital mortality. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and multivariate COX proportional hazard modeling have been used to evaluate survival. According to findings, approximately 20% of individuals admitted to a Ugandan neurology ward died, with worse survival occurring among unemployed/retired people and subsistence farmers/peasants and those without a diagnosis at the time of death and stroke diagnosis. The most common diagnoses included stroke, head trauma, and malaria. There was a greater risk of in-hospital mortality relative to admission to the same ward with a non-neurological diagnosis among the patients admitted to the neurology ward with a neurological diagnosis.
