Treatment outcomes and associated factors in severe malaria patients at University of Gondar Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia: A retrospective study (2020–2023)
Our study revealed a significant number of malaria-related deaths, with predictors such as age, impaired consciousness, convulsions, jaundice, parasitemia level, and creatinine level identified. Hence, it is imperative to implement intense and timely interventions for patients exhibiting these clinical manifestations to prevent malaria-related fatalities.
