Predictors of mortality in adult patients with dengue: a study from South India

Abstract: Background: Dengue is one of the important causes of acute febrile illnesses in India. Dengue can be a fatal disease, however there are no reliable markers which can predict mortality among these patients.Methods: A prospective cross sectional study was done in patients who were admitted to a tertiary care hospital with features of dengue fever. A total of 364 patients with IgM dengue serology positive were included in the study. Relevant clinical and laboratory parameters were collected from all patients. Ass… Show more

“…Also, there were no significant differences of thrombocyte count between male and female in early, critical or convalescence phases (p > 0,05). These finding was similar to result reported by Acharya, Khan, Kosuru, & Mallya (2018) where there was no relation of mortality with gender of the dengue patient (p = 0.534).…”

“…6,28 While there are other studies on death in dengue, they examined the association with death in unselected dengue cases and were not prediction modelling studies. [39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46] Our study is the first modelling study, based on the latest and widely adopted WHO 2009 classification scheme, to model prediction of death in severe dengue cases. As mentioned above, there have been many studies that built models for identification of dengue and stratification of severity in dengue.…”

“…These findings were similar to a study in which overall mortality was 3.85%, variables associated with increased risk of death among the dengue patients were Age >40 years, presence of hypotension, presence of renal failure, encephalopathy, MODS, ARDS and bleeding tendency. 15…”
