Abstract

Two phase retrospective and prospective study was conducted to evaluate the clinico-laboratory characteristics and predictors of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and to assess epidemiology of AKI and post-AKI renal recovery among patients attending Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM). During Phase-I (retrospective), a total 667 dengue patients were reviewed. DHF was observed in 79 (11.8 %) cases. Multivariate regression analysis demonstrated presence of age > 40 years (OR: 4.1), secondary infection (OR: 2.7), diabetes mellitus (OR: 2.8), lethargy (OR: 3.1), thick gallbladder (OR: 1.7) and delayed hospitalization (OR: 2.3) as independent predictors of DHF
