Description
Aryalakshmi Sreemohan and colleagues examined nearly fifteen hundred hospitalised dengue patients at an Indian tertiary centre between 2021 and 2024, asking who dies and how the liver shapes the odds. Dengue attacks the liver in most admitted patients. The team graded liver involvement, hunted for death predictors, and checked whether existing prognostic scores work in this infection.
About five percent died. Severe dengue, intensive care admission, a high inflammation ratio, and above all low blood albumin predicted death. Surprisingly, patients with fatty liver survived better than those with healthy livers, while decompensated cirrhosis fared worst. A simple albumin-based grade separated risk well. Machine grouping found four patient types with very different death rates.
