Abstract
Acute liver failure (ALF) is a devastating consequence of dengue infection. This systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the incidence of ALF in dengue infection and its associated mortality. We systematically searched the EMBASE and MEDLINE databases from inception to December 2023 for observational studies reporting ALF incidence and mortality in dengue patients. Twenty-one studies encompassing 26,839 dengue-infected patients were included. Meta-analysis revealed a pooled incidence of ALF in cases of general dengue infection of 2.0 % (95 % CI, 1.2–3.0 %), with 1.2 % (95 % CI, 0.6–2.1 %) in adults and 5.0 % (95 % CI, 1.5–10.2 %) in children. ALF incidence was 17.3 % (95 % CI, 6.5 %−31.5 %) in severe dengue and 7.4 % (95 % CI, 0.8–18.5 %) in dengue shock syndrome. The pooled mortality rate of dengue-associated ALF was 47.0 % (95 % CI, 32.9–61.2 %). These findings underscore the detrimental impact of dengue infection on the development of the relatively uncommon, albeit life-threatening, condition of ALF.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Infection and Public Health, first official journal of the Saudi Arabian Ministry of National Guard Health Affairs, King Saud Bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences and the Saudi Association for Public Health, aims to be the foremost scientific, peer-reviewed journal encompassing infection prevention and control, microbiology, infectious diseases, public health and the application of healthcare epidemiology to the evaluation of health outcomes. The point of view of the journal is that infection and public health are closely intertwined and that advances in one area will have positive consequences on the other.
The journal will be useful to all health professionals who are partners in the management of patients with communicable diseases, keeping them up to date. The journal is proud to have an international and diverse editorial board that will assist and facilitate the publication of articles that reflect a global view on infection control and public health, as well as emphasizing our focus on supporting the needs of public health practitioners.
It is our aim to improve healthcare by reducing risk of infection and related adverse outcomes by critical review, selection, and dissemination of new and relevant information in the field of infection control, public health and infectious diseases in all healthcare settings and the community.
