Discussion

Longitudinal analysis reveals platelet counts correlate with dengue severity and hospitalization rates.

Lower platelet counts at diagnosis significantly predict hospitalization for dengue infection, emphasizing the need for careful monitoring.
Approximately 76% of patients achieved normal platelet counts by day 10, indicating quick recovery in non-hospitalized cases.
This longitudinal study employed consecutive sampling with 146 dengue patients at Ayub Teaching Hospital from August 2022 to February 2023.
Rapid normalization of platelet morphology in non-hospitalized patients suggests potential for early clinical decision-making.

Mufti et al. (2024) studied this question.
