Acute Undifferentiated Fever with Thrombocytopenia: Clinical and Etiological Profile
cureus.comPrompt recognition and management of thrombocytopenia in acute undifferentiated fever are vital. Thrombocytopenia, along with organ dysfunction and shock, significantly influence patient outcomes. Tailored interventions based on etiological factors are crucial. Further research should focus on specific viral etiologies in acute undifferentiated fever with thrombocytopenia.
Based on the logistic regression analysis, the predictors of Organ Dysfunction, Third Space Loss, Platelet Transfusion, and Etiological Groups have a significant association with the Overall Outcome variable (p < 0.05). The odds ratios suggest that patients with Organ Dysfunction, Third Space Loss, Platelet Transfusion, and specific Etiological Groups have higher odds of being classified as "Recovered" compared to "Stable" or "Unstable" patients. The Shock variable, although not statistically significant (p > 0.05), still shows a trend toward higher odds of being classified as “Recovered”.
The logistic regression model has a good fit based on the Hosmer-Lemeshow test (p = 0.684).
