There were 5 highly significant independent predictors of mortality from severe malaria in children, including base deficit (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 1.12, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.10–1.13), coma score (AOR 1.40, 95% CI 1.34–1.45), convulsions (AOR 1.72, 95% CI 1.30–2.30), BUN (AOR 1.02, 95% CI 1.02–1.03), and chronic illness (AOR 2.12, 95% CI 1.25–3.58).
