RESUMEN

Introducción:

El dengue (DEN), es uno de los principales problemas de salud pública en Paraguay. Identificar los factores de riesgo asociados a la evolución a dengue grave es clave principalmente para evitar un desenlace fatal y también lograr de alguna manera reducir la utilización de recursos al disminuir el número de hospitalizaciones.

Objetivos:

Analizar los factores asociados a la evolución a dengue grave en un hospital de tercer nivel de atención de Paraguay durante los años 2019 a 2020. Materiales y

métodos:

Estudio de casos y controles de hospitalizados con diagnóstico de dengue y dengue grave. Se consideró como casos a los pacientes con dengue grave y controles pareados a los pacientes con dengue hospitalizados. Relación controles a casos 21=38 casos y 76 controles.

Resultados:

De 146 pacientes, se halló significancia estadística en las siguientes variables sexo femenino (OR 0,47 IC 0,22-0,99 p 0,045), leucopenia (OR 0,06 IC 0.006-0,66 p 0,007), padecer diabetes mellitus (OR 13,42 IC 1,51-118,62 y p 0,003), presentar dolor abdominal intermitente (OR 2,67 IC 1,10-6,48 p 0,02), y tos (OR 21,79 IC 5,93-80,05 y p 0,00).

Conclusión:

Los pacientes de sexo femenino, con leucopenia y la condición de embarazo resultaron factores protectores para la evolución a dengue grave. Se asociaron con mayor probabilidad de desarrollar dengue grave, padecer diabetes mellitus, presentar dolor abdominal intermitente, tos, letargia o inquietud y leucocitos normales.
ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Dengue (DEN) is one of the main public health problems in Paraguay. Identifying the risk factors associated with the evolution to severe dengue is key mainly to avoid a fatal outcome and also to somehow reduce the use of resources by reducing the number of hospitalizations.

Objectives:

To analyze the factors associated with the evolution to severe dengue in a tertiary care hospital in Paraguay during the years 2019 to 2020. Materials and

methods:

Case-control study of hospitalized patients with a diagnosis of dengue and severe dengue.

Results:

We included 146 patients, we found statistical significance in the following variables female sex (OR 0.47 CI 0.22-0.99 p 0.045), leukopenia (OR 0.06 CI 0.006-0.66 p 0.007), suffering from diabetes mellitus (OR 13.42 CI 1.51-118.62 and p 0.003), present intermittent abdominal pain (OR 2.67 CI 1.10-6.48 p 0.02), and cough (OR 21.79 CI 5, 93-80.05 and p 0.00).

Conclusion:

We found that female patients, with leukopenia and the condition of pregnancy were protective factors for the evolution to severe dengue. The association with the highest probability of developing severe dengue, which we found, was suffering from diabetes mellitus, presenting intermittent abdominal pain, cough, lethargy or restlessness, and normal white blood cells.
