Abstract Background China had entered post-elimination era for malaria, however, the imported cases are continuously are a public health concern as the increasing number of cases. In this study we studied the potential predictive factors for prolonged hospital stay for imported malaria patients. Material and Methods We retrospectively collected patients of imported malaria cases data from 2017–2020 in our hospital. we analyzed the data from clinical, epidemiological, geographical, and seasonal points of view, and used cox proportional hazard model to find the predictive factors for prolonged hospital stay. Results We found most of imported cases were from Democratic Republic of the Congo(23%, 34/150) and most cases 74%(26/34) were infected by P. falciparum. Through Edwards Test, no significant seasonality of imported cases were found(χ2 = 2.51 p-value = 0.28). We found bacterial infection(HR = 0.58, p-value = 0.01) and thrombocytopenia(HR = 0.66, p-value = 0.02) were protective factors for discharge, that were, the risk factors for prolonged hospital stay. Conclusions The imported cases are the major risk of malaria in post-elimination era of China. The bacterial infection and thrombocytopenia were the risk factors for prolonged hospital stay.

Objective To determine the incidence, duration and cause of hospitalization in a cohort of Danish patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In addition, we investigated risk factors for admission and prolonged hospital stay. Methods A total of 155 SLE patients from a population-based cohort were included in the study during a period of 70 months, from January 2007 to October 2012. Data on frequency, cause and duration of hospitalizations were obtained by review of medical charts. Data on disease manifestations, organ damage and treatment were collected prospectively. Results A total of 101 of the 155 SLE patients (65%) had one or more hospitalization during the study period. The incidence rate of all hospitalizations was 0.50 per year. Leading causes of admission were complications to SLE or its treatment, but infections were also common. Mean duration of hospital stay was 6.4 ± 10.5 days, and SLE Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) on admission emerged as a risk factor for prolonged hospital stay. Conclusion Danish SLE patients experience frequent admissions to hospital. Complications to SLE or its treatment, as well as infections, are leading causes of admission. High SLEDAI-2K on admission is a risk factor for prolonged hospital stay.
