Publications by authors named "On Behalf Of The Mohopa Study Investigators"
Background: There is a paucity of nationally representative data on the pattern of morbidity of hospitalised medical patients in Nigeria. We hereby provide insights from the MOHOPA (Pattern of Morbidities, Mortality and Healthcare Financing of Hospitalised Medical Patients in Hospitals) study on the pattern of morbidity among patients admitted to the medical wards of Nigerian tertiary-level hospitals.
Methods: At least 100 patients admitted to the medical and emergency wards of 7 tertiary-level hospitals, spread across the 6 geopolitical zones of Nigeria and the Capital City of Abuja, were consecutively recruited to join the study after obtaining written informed consent.
