Description
Summary:MOHOPA (Pattern of Morbidities, Mortality and Healthcare Financing of Hospitalised Medical Patients) Study aimed to determine the pattern of morbidities among patients admitted to the medical wards of 7 Teaching and Specialised Hospitals across Nigeria, the short-term outcomes of admissions and their determinants, challenges of managing the patients, and the pattern of healthcare financing for their care. The primary study outcomes were all-cause mortality (in-hospital and at 12 weeks post-discharge), duration of hospitalisation and rehospitalisation rate. 705 patients were recruited consecutively between May 2023 and March 2024, from Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, Federal Medical Centre Lokoja, University College Hospital, Ibadan, University of Nigeria, Ituku-Ozalla Campus, Enugu, Delta State University Teaching Hospital, Oghara, and University of Abuja Teaching Hospital. Each patient was followed up for 12 weeks or until his/her demise or referral to another facility. We hereby present the detailed study protocol.
