- Researchers analyzed cases of acute febrile syndrome, comparing 219 confirmed dengue cases with 286 cases of other febrile illnesses, ultimately determining that certain symptoms like prolonged fever and sleepiness were strongly linked to dengue.
- The newly developed logistic regression model showed an accuracy of 84.2% and a better performance (AU-ROC of 89.8%) compared to both the predefined clinical scale and the WHO case definition.
