The analyses included patients with P. falciparum malaria who were aged >16 years and originated either from a non-endemic area (mainly Sweden) or malaria-endemic countries in sub-Saharan Africa (grey boxes). The study population was selected among all patients diagnosed with malaria in Stockholm, Sweden, between January 1995 and May 2013.

The proportion of immigrants with severe malaria increases with years of residency in a malaria-free country. Severe malaria was defined according to: (a) WHO criteria, including hyperparasitaemia >5%; (b) factors prognostic for poor outcome (defined in Methods); and (c) intensive-care unit (ICU) admission. Absolute numbers are presented above bars within brackets. Comparison of years in a non-endemic country by the use of chi-squared or Fisher's test as appropriate, and comparison of 1–4, 5–9, 10–14 and ≥14 years, respectively, demonstrates overall differences between these four groups. p-values: (a) 0.57, (b) 0.02, and (c) 0.33.
