New research shows that people in Malawi admitted to hospital with breathlessness are much more likely to die within a year than other patients.

Congratulations to @sspencer.bsky.social for publishing the final paper of his PhD! This describes the complexity of patients with breathlessness in Malawi. Whilst vertical programmes are important for individual diseases like TB, more integrated approaches are urgently required

And now, after 7 months of baking, the shiny @lancetgh.bsky.social manuscript has emerged!

Very excited to share this as the culmination of a huge amount of work and fantastic/constructive peer review process.

Thrilled to share our latest paper @lancetgh.bsky.social on multimorbidity-related hospital admissions in Malawi & Tanzania.

Increased medical complexity in sub–Saharan African hospitals requires urgent interventions to address population needs.

🧪🩺 What causes breathlessness in patients who require acute hospital admission in Malawi? This protocol paper by @sspencer.bsky.social sets out a systematised approach to address this question: wellcomeopenresearch.org/articles/9-2....

How should the concept of #multimorbidity apply in a sub Saharan African context? Our new interdisciplinary piece starts to consider key drivers and health systems implications: doi.org/10.1371/jour...
