## Background Seasonal malaria chemoprevention is widely implemented in Sahel and sub-Sahel countries in Africa. Few studies have assessed the impact of the SMC on hospital admission and death when it is implemented in the health system. This retrospective study assessed the impact of seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) on hospitalizations and deaths of children under 5 years of age during the second year of implementation of SMC in the health district of Ouelessebougou in Mali. ## Methods In February 2017, a survey was conducted to assess hospital admissions and deaths in children under 5 years of age in two health sub-districts where SMC was implemented in 2015 and two health sub-districts where SMC was not implemented.

The R software was used for data analysis. ## Results A total o
