Prognosis factors for dengue shock syndrome in children

Abstract

Background:\xa0Varied clinical manifestations, complex pathogenesis, and different viral serotypes make it difficult to predict the course of dengue disease. Many studies have been conducted on the prognostic factors for the occurrence of dengue shock syndrome (SSD), but all use the 2017\xa0World Health Organization\xa0(WHO) guidelines.\xa0 Aim:\xa0This study aims to determine the prognostic factors for the occurrence of SSD based on WHO guidelines in 2011.\xa0 Method:\xa0Retrospective study using medical record data of pediatric patients aged 0 to <18 years with a diagnosis of dengue fever dengue (DHF), SSD, and\xa0expanded dengue syndrome\xa0(EDS) that meet WHO criteria in 2011 at the reputable database from 2017 to December 2020. Independent variables, namely gender, age, nutritional status, secondary dengue infection, leukopenia, abdominal pain, gastrointestinal bleeding, hepatomegaly, and plasma leakage. Shock is the dependent variable. Multivariate analysis using logistic regression analysis.\xa0 Results:\xa0Subjects who met the study criteria were 145 patients, 52 (35.8%) of whom had SSD. Five of 52 SSD patients went into shock during hospitalization. The bivariate analysis yielded significant factors including, malnutrition, overnutrition and obesity, gastrointestinal bleeding, hemoconcentration, ascites, leukocytes 5,000 mm 3, encephalopathy, enzyme elevation heart, and\xa0overload. The results of multivariate analysis showed that hemoconcentration variables and elevated liver enzymes were factors of SSD Prognosis.\xa0 Conclusion:\xa0Hemoconcentration and elevated liver enzymes are prognostic factors for SSD.\xa0
