Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the link between estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) and in-hospital mortality (IHM) among patients in a low-income sub-Saharan African hospital.
- During a six-month observation of 226 patients, a significant percentage (19.9%) died, revealing that lower eGFR levels correlate with a higher risk of IHM, especially in specific age and health subgroups.
- The findings highlight the need for further research on kidney function and mortality in resource-limited settings to improve patient outcomes and healthcare strategies.
Background: Anaemia increases morbidity and mortality in patients with congestive cardiac failure (CCF). Few studies have examined the prevalence of anaemia and its impact among patients with CCF in sub-Saharan Africa. We assessed the prevalence of anaemia and its influence on treatment outcome in patients with CCF attending a large referral hospital in Kampala, Uganda.
