Daily dengue severity score to assess severe manifestations

The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal Jan 16, 2020

Tangnararatchakit K, Chuansumrit A, Watcharakuldilok P, et al. - Researchers sought to develop dengue severity score that may assis in assessing severe manifestations among hospitalized patients with dengue infection. They recruited 191 patients (mean age: 10.7 years) with serologically confirmed dengue infection admitted at Ramathibodi Hospital and treated by an expert multidisciplinary team. They retrospectively reviewed medical records and assessed 14 items, related to clinical parameters and managements during hospitalization, daily as dengue severity score. The analysis suggests a daily dengue severity score of ≥ 12 as an accurate assessment tool for severe manifestations. A total daily score of ≥ 12 exhibited sensitivity of 86% and specificity of 84% for dengue shock syndrome.
