Every year thousands of cases are detected throughout India despite mosquito control measures. 1 In 2020, India recorded 44585 cases of dengue and in 2021, it increased to 123106 cases. 1 Dengue progresses from a stage of fever without warning signs to dengue with warning signs and then to severe dengue. About 5-15% of patients with dengue fever progress to severe dengue. 2 This febrile illness has the potential to transform into severe dengue and result in mortality, even in young healthy population. 3 It’s clinically difficult to identify those patients with dengue fever who later on progress to severe dengue. 3 , 4 World Health Organisation has identified a set of seven clinical and laboratory parameters as warning signs (abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, fluid accumulation, mucosal bleeding, lethargy, liver enlargement, increasing hematocrit with decreasing platelets) which are extensively used in clinical practice for early identification of progression to severe dengue. 2 There have been many studies evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of these parameters in dengue fever with mixed results. 2 , 5 – 7 In general these parameters have high specificity and high negative predictive value but a lower sensitivity and lower positive predictive value. 2 , 7 Capillary leak is the hallmark of onset of severe dengue. In clinical practice, capillary leak is identified by hemoconcentration, a significant rise in hematocrit, and evidence of fluid collection in cavities. Rise in hematocrit and concurrent significant drop in platelet count is an important warning sign. To identify this parameter, patients are subjected to repeated blood investigations. Availability of good laboratories, manpower, and money for repeating these tests frequently would be a challenge in rural areas. Moreover, interpretation of rising hematocrit requires a baseline hematocrit value which is unavailable in most of the patients when they get admitted in resource-limited settings. 8 , 9 Assuming baseline hematocrit with population data is advised when baseline values are not available. 4 This is not reliable, because of the wide variability of hemoglobin and hematocrit in third-world countries. It also was noted earlier that many patients did not have a significant rise in hematocrit even when they develop shock in dengue fever. 10 Capillary leak leads to hypovolemia and varying degree of hypotension. 11 Most of the clinical manifestations of dengue complications can be attributed to capillary leak syndrome. 11 Orthostatic blood pressure changes are commonly used to assess intravascular volume. 12 Hence, postural fall in blood pressure could be an indicator of significant capillary leak in early part of dengue fever. CDC guidelines and Pan American Health Organisation (PAHO) guidelines include Postural hypotension as one of the warning signs. 13 , 14 Clinical criteria used in dengue management at the Queen Sirikit National Institute of Child Health, Bangkok also include postural hypotension as one of the parameters for admission to the hospital. 15 Postural hypotension is not included as warning sign in WHO guidelines. Conventional warning signs (defined by WHO) have been studied extensively as predictors of severe dengue. However, data regarding postural hypotension in this condition is very limited. Hence this study was planned to evaluate the accuracy of postural hypotension in identifying patients with severe dengue and develop a simple model for identifying the subsequent development of severe dengue. Methods Study design and sample Patients admitted to hospital with dengue fever as per WHO criteria between 2011-2015 were included in this prospective observational study. Patients of 18 years and above with NS1 antigen positive results or positive dengue IgM ELISA report were included. Patients with severe dengue on admission were excluded. In our study, to avoid bias, inclusions, measurements and outcomes were all objective. Descriptive clinical data regarding atypical manifestations of dengue among these patients was published earlier. 16 Analytical data regarding diagnostic performance of warning clinical signs and postural hypotension are presented in this paper. Patients with pre-existing postural hypotension were excluded. Sample size We calculated the sample size by assuming the expected prevalence to be 15.3%, based on a previous study published by Alok kumar et al. , 3 with a sensitivity of 70% and specificity of 85%, precision of 20% and 95% confidence interval and a drop out percentage of 5%. The sample size was estimated as 143. Variables and procedure Complete blood count (by pulse detection/fluorescence flow cytometry using Sysmex XN 9000), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (by automated using Sysmex XN9000), liver function test (by 3,5-dichlorophenyldiazonium tetrafluoroborate (DPD) for bilirubin, biuret test for proteins/UV Kinetic colorimetric method for Alanine transaminase and Aspartate transaminase using Cobas Pro.), creatinine (by Jaffe colorimetric using Cobas Pro; the Cobas Pro analyzer series is automated system using a combination of photometric and ion-selective electrode (ISE) determinations, and electrochemiluminescence (ECL) signal in the immunoassay analysis module (e601 module), chest X ray, abdominal ultrasound were done on admission. Hemoglobin, hematocrit and platelet count was done daily for the next 48 hrs. The sample was drawn by the nurse in the respective wards (2cc of EDTA and 2 cc of serum sample). The samples were analysed in the central laboratory by automated machines as described. The results were ratified by the laboratory incharge faculty. Rise in hematocrit was calculated by comparing the hematocrit after admission with population mean values. 4 Hematocrit was measured by pulse detection method using the Sysmex XN analyser 9000. Mean baseline hematocrit for South Indian males was 44.3% and for females 36.4%. 17 Rise of 20% compared to the baseline hematocrit was considered significant (53.2% for males and 43.7% for females). Patients were treated as per the WHO 2009 Protocol for the management of Dengue. Patients were followed up until they recovered or succumbed to the illness. Patients who developed severe dengue were identified as per the WHO criteria. 18 Ethical considerations Ethical committee clearance was obtained from the institutional ethics committee at Kasturba Medical College, Mangalore, India (approval number – IEC KMC MLR 03/2022/82). Written informed consent was obtained from the participants for collection of data, analysis of data and publication of findings. Data analysis Data was analysed using the software SPSS version 25 (RRID:SCR_002865). Sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value, and positive predictive value were calculated for all 7 warning signs and postural fall in systolic blood pressure (SBP). Multiple logistic regression test was performed to find out the adjusted odds ratio of parameters between non-severe and severe dengue patients. Receiver operator characteristic curve analysis was done to find the optimal cut-off value of the continuous variables which would yield the best specificity and sensitivity for severe dengue fever. Based on the logistic regression analysis, parameters that had significant odds ratio were identified and decision tree analysis was performed using those parameters as independent variables and severe dengue as the dependent variable. CHAID method of model development was used to develop the decision tree model with 70% of the sample for development of the model (training sample) and 30% of the data (test sample) for split sample validation of the model. Accuracy of the model for training and test sample was expressed as accuracy with a 95% confidence interval. Specificity, sensitivity, negative likelihood ratio, positive likelihood ratio, and diagnostic odds ratio were calculated for the entire dataset using the model developed by the decision tree. Results Clinical and laboratory data of 150 dengue patients admitted to the hospital were analysed. 22 All 150 subjects who were included were available for evaluation till the end of study except for one patient who succumbed to the illness. 74% were men and 26% were women. The mean age of the subjects was 37.9±15.3 years. 23 patients with dengue developed severe dengue as per the World Health Organisation classification. The median duration of fever before admission was four days (IQ range 3–6). There was a statistically significant difference in hemoglobin, haematocrit, and postural fall in the systolic blood pressure (SBP) on admission between the groups which developed severe dengue subsequently and the group which remained in the non-severe category ( Table 1 ). Table 1. Difference in parameters between the groups with severe dengue and non-severe dengue. Severe (Mean values with standard deviation) Non-Severe (Mean values with standard deviation) p value Age (years) 31.22 (10.89) 39.14 (15.69) 0.022 Duration of fever before admission (days) 4.43 (1.61) 4.61 (1.9) 0.671 Hemoglobin on admission (g/dL) 15.88 (2.52) 14.42 (1.78) 0.001 Haematocrit on admission (%) 45.67 (6.60) 41.97 (4.28) 0.001 Platelet count on admission (cells/μL) 46087 (53715) 74724.40 (57778) 0.029 Total leukocyte count (cells/μL) 6433.48 (2762.11) 4902.28 (2697.52) 0.014 Aspartate transaminase (IU/mL) 802.04 (1587.50) 200.13 (219.07) <0.001 Lowest platelet (cells/μL) 23304 (10881) 53417 (40419) 0.001 Percentage fall in SBP (%) 14.83 (4.39) 8.36 (4.5) <0.001 Albumin 3.54 (0.33) 3.74 (0.43) 0.042 Warning signs showed good specificity and positive predictive value for severe dengue, but in general, sensitivity and negative predictive values were low, except for pleural effusion/ascites which had good sensitivity and specificity. Postural fall in SBP also showed higher sensitivity and specificity ( Table 2 ). Patients developing postural hypotension during the stay in the hospital were also included in the group with postural hypotension if they did not have clinical and laboratory features of severe dengue. Table 2. Sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value and positive predictive value of warning signs and postural fall in systolic blood pressure. Parameter Sensitivity (%) Specificity (%) Negative predictive value (%) Positive predictive value (%) Rise in Hematocrit 13 96.9 86.0 42.8 Ascites/Pleural Effusion 82.6 88.2 96.6 55.9 Postural Fall in Systolic Blood Pressure 87 82.7 97.2 47.6 Hepatomegaly 30.4 91.3 87.9 38.9 Lethargy 4.3 99.2 85.1 15.3 Persistent Vomiting 65.2 64.6 91.1 25.0 Severe abdominal Pain 82.6 66.1 95.5 30.6 Mucosal bleeding 60.9 89.0 92.6 50.0 Receiver operator curve (ROC) analysis showed an area under the curve of ROC 0.86; p<0.001 (95% CI: 0.77-0.95) and analysis of the coordinates showed that postural fall of more than 10.33% in systolic BP was the ideal cut-off. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that except for postural fall in the SBP on admission and the presence of pleural effusion/ascites, none of the other parameters had a statistically significant adjusted odds ratio ( Table 3 ).

Results of decision tree analysis showed that the model had a very high accuracy of 93.7% (95% CI: 88.9-98.5) for the training data set and 86.7% (95% CI: 76.5-96.9) for the test data set (validation data set). The cross-tabulation of observed and predicted values is mentioned in Table 4 . Table 4. Comparison of model predication and actual status. Severe Dengue Non-Severe Dengue Prediction by Model Severe Dengue 18 8 Non-Severe Dengue 5 119 Patients with less than 10.33% fall on standing SBP were very unlikely to develop severe dengue than those with more than 10.33% fall in the systolic BP. Patients who did not have pleural effusion/ascites were also unlikely to develop severe dengue ( Figure 1 ). Figure 1. Decision tree for detecting cases at risk of progression to severe dengue. Specificity, sensitivity, negative likelihood ratio, positive likelihood ratio, negative predictive value, positive predictive value, and diagnostic odds ratio of the model for the entire data set is shown in Table 5 . Table 5. Diagnostic accuracy of the decision tree. Parameter Value Sensitivity (%) 78.2 Specificity (%) 93.7 Positive Predictive Value (%) 69.2 Negative Predictive Value (%) 96.0 Positive Likelihood ratio: 12.4 Negative Likelihood ratio: 0.23 Diagnostic Likelihood ratio: 53.9 Three subjects succumbed to the illness and all of them had postural SBP fall of more than 10.33% and had pleural effusion/ascites in the initial screening and were found to have postural SBP fall of more than 18%. Discussion We have studied 150 inpatients with dengue and evaluated the diagnostic performance of warning signs and postural hypotension. Fluid accumulation in cavities and postural fall in SBP of >10.33% were found to have good sensitivity and specificity. Multiple logistic regression showed that other warning signs did not have significant adjusted odds ratio for the development of severe dengue compared to ascites/pleural effusion and postural fall in SBP. Based on decision tree analysis, we developed a model to identify patients with high risk of progression to severe dengue utilizing simple clinical tools (postural hypotension and pleural effusion/ascites). Diagnostic odds ratio of the model is 53.9, making the decision tree a very good diagnostic tool for ruling out the risk of progression to severe dengue. This model performed well both in the development and validation cohort confirming good internal validity. Severe dengue develops in about 5-15% of patients with dengue fever. 2 Capillary leak is a unique and major pathogenetic mechanism in the development of severe dengue. Hence, markers of capillary leak like rising hematocrit and fluid accumulation in cavities have been part of dengue management protocols. WHO has identified seven warning signs for severe dengue: abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, fluid accumulation, mucosal bleeding, lethargy, liver enlargement, increasing hematocrit with decreasing platelets. These markers have been used extensively to triage patients with dengue fever to identify those at higher risk of developing severe dengue. Severe dengue has high mortality of nearly 20% which can be brought down to nearly 1% of patients if identified early and managed appropriately. 6 Recently, many studies have been published evaluating the performance of these parameters in predicting severe dengue. In a study published from Malaysia, 700 patients were studied to evaluate the diagnostic performance of warning signs for association with severe dengue. Though specificity was good, sensitivity was suboptimal. Sensitivity of rise in hematocrit was 0.29 which was similar to our study (0.13) and specificity was above 90%. 2 Capillary leak occurs secondary to damage of endothelial cell-to-cell junction. It can occur as a primary event (Clarkson’s disease) or secondary to a variety of infections like dengue or other inflammatory conditions. 11 Capillary leak can lead to intravascular changes (hemoconcentration, hypovolemia- postural hypotension), extravascular changes (fluid accumulation in cavities) and organ involvement (abdominal pain, vomiting, lethargy, liver involvement). Intravascular changes have been typically assessed with hemoconcentration-rise in hematocrit. Importance of this phenomenon was identified around 1970 in Thailand and management protocols were developed by WHO subsequently based on this concept. 15 However, requirement of basal level to calculate rise in hematocrit is a major challenge in third world countries. Other parameters like postural hypotension would be an appropriate alternative to hematocrit in these situations since sensitivity and specificity for postural hypotension were very high for diagnosing severe dengue. Evaluation of the rise in hematocrit as a predictor of severe dengue has yielded mixed results. In a meta-analysis of 87 studies consisting of 35,184 dengue fever and 8,173 severe dengue, 34 clinical/biochemical factors were associated with severe dengue out of which 9(including plasma leakage) were relevant within the 7 days window. 6 The odds ratio for pleural effusion for association with severe dengue was 15.83, p<001. Hematocrit was strongly associated with severe dengue (standardized mean difference=0.327, 95% CI: 0.019-0.546, p=0.003). 6 However, these observations were not confirmed in a meta-analysis involving a larger number of studies. 5 Sangkaew et al. performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies that focussed on predicting severe dengue using clinical and biochemical parameters during the febrile phase of the illness. 5 150 research papers were included. Hemoconcentration was not found to be significantly different between the group which developed severe dengue compared to the group which remained non-severe. The standardised mean difference was 0.07 (95% CI: -0.11 to 0.26) which was statistically not significant (p= 0.59). 5 Moreover, 53.8% of patients with severe dengue did not have hemoconcentration during an epidemic of dengue in Brazil in 2008. 7 Difficulties in identifying plasma leakage by clinicians and the need for clinical parameters instead of laboratory parameters, especially in resource-limited settings, were also highlighted by Horstick et al . 9 There have also been a few studies in the past attempting to create a decision tree to help identify patients with a risk of progression to severe dengue, earlier on in the illness. 19 – 21 These studies either used biochemical parameters, had a lower diagnostic accuracy compared to the decision tree in the current study, or did not have an internal validation. A study by Tamibmaniam et al . tried to find the factors associated with severe dengue infection and to create a decision tree similar to our study. 20 Simple logistic regression analysis found many factors to have the ability to predict severity, but multiple logistic regression narrowed it down to pleural effusion, vomiting, and low systolic blood pressure. Using these variables, they created a decision tree with a sensitivity of 0.81, specificity of 0.54, PPV of 0.16, and NPV of 0.96. Our decision tree has a comparable sensitivity and NPV while having a much higher specificity and PPV. Also, the study by Tamibmaniam et al . did not include an internal validation of their decision tree, unlike in the current study where the internal validation provided by the training sample further validates the results of the test sample. WHO has developed a set of clinical warning Symptoms for triaging patients to decide inpatient management. These 7 parameters have been studied in various studies to identify the relative importance of each one of them in predicting severe dengue. Tamibmaniam et al. 20 have studied 657 patients with dengue of whom 59 had severe dengue. Even though many parameters were associated with severe dengue in simple logistic regression, adjusted odds ratios were significant for 3 parameters only after multiple logistic regression analysis (Fluid accumulation, vomiting and hypotension). Other parameters did not reach statistical significance in this multiple logistic regression. Our findings are also in line with these observations. It appears that some of the parameters seem to be having stronger independent association compared to other parameters. Our findings suggest that Postural fall in Systolic Blood Pressure and Pleural effusion/Ascites have much stronger independent associations with severe dengue, compared to other warning signs, resulting in relatively lower significance for other warning symptoms. Hence, these findings are unlikely to be due to bias. Dengue patients can be easily and effectively triaged by checking for postural hypotension on admission and daily thereafter. If SBP fall is more than 10.33%, evaluation for pleural effusion/ascites can be done. Patients with pleural effusion/ascites and postural hypotension are the ones who need close monitoring and complete evaluation with a full battery of investigations as per WHO protocol to confirm the high risk of progression to severe dengue. Other patients may not require this aggressive approach since the model has a negative predictive value of about 94%. Postural hypotension represents intravascular changes and ascites/pleural effusion represents extravascular changes. Identifying patients likely to develop severe dengue is a complex clinical decision-making process. Warning signs defined by WHO help the clinician in this process. No single parameter of these signs is definitive. Findings of this study confirm that postural hypotension is an important and useful warning sign in dengue fever. CDC and PAHO have included postural hypotension as one of the warning signs in their guidelines. 13 , 14 WHO guidelines do not include postural hypotension as warning sign. There is a strong case for inclusion of postural hypotension in other guidelines also. Our clinical decision tool could help clinicians in remote places make effective and appropriate clinical judgments when baseline hematocrit is unavailable. Limitations The sample size is small. The results of our study need to be confirmed in bigger and multicentric settings to establish external validity.

Continue reading READ ALL An overall well written article. However, a further grammar check is advised. The introduction is concise and explain the importance of analyzing the role of postural hypotension as dengue warning signs well, it is also a novel variable that should be researched further. The methods is also explained well, starting from type of studies, inclusion and exclusion criteria, sample size, to the explanation of the statistical analysis. The usage of CHAID method to make a decision tree model is an excellent decision that differentiate this study from other dengue warning sign research. The results answered the question of the research, starting from the adjusted odds ratio, the optimal cut-off of fall in SBP, up until the diagnostic accuracy of the decision tree. However, there is one comment, why do the author think that the result of the multiple logistic regression analysis resulted in only ascites/pleural effusion and fall in postural SBP that reached significant value? Is it possible that there is some biases that played some role? The discussion discusses the results well, explaining the importance of the results, as well as how this study compare to other. One comment is related to the result, the author should explain why the other warning signs doesn't have a significant value other than ascites/pleural effusion and fall in postural SBP Is the work clearly and accurately presented and does it cite the current literature? Yes Is the study design appropriate and is the work technically sound? Yes Are sufficient details of methods and analysis provided to allow replication by others? Yes If applicable, is the statistical analysis and its interpretation appropriate? Partly Are all the source data underlying the results available to ensure full reproducibility? Yes Are the conclusions drawn adequately supported by the results? Yes Competing Interests: No competing interests were disclosed.

Continue reading READ ALL First, I would like to congratulate the authors for their work in helping to improve and simplify the prediction of severe dengue. Introduction/ Methods: Mention the working definition of “severe dengue”. Inclusion/ exclusion criteria: Please state and justify if patients with pre-existing postural hypotension were excluded from the study or not. Sample size: Provide appropriate references for the expected prevalence of dengue being 15%. The presence of postural hypotension is assessed only at admission. Since the duration of fever at admission is approximately 4 days in the sample, the majority of them are likely to be at the febrile stage of illness and not entered the critical phase, where more frequent occurrences of plasma leaks and postural hypotension might have occurred. Was postural hypotension assessed for in the subsequent days of admission? Is the work clearly and accurately presented and does it cite the current literature? Yes Is the study design appropriate and is the work technically sound? Yes Are sufficient details of methods and analysis provided to allow replication by others? Partly If applicable, is the statistical analysis and its interpretation appropriate? I cannot comment. A qualified statistician is required. Are all the source data underlying the results available to ensure full reproducibility? Yes Are the conclusions drawn adequately supported by the results? Partly Competing Interests: No competing interests were disclosed. Reviewer Expertise: Neurosurgery, Primary care medicine I confirm that I have read this submission and believe that I have an appropriate level of expertise to confirm that it is of an acceptable scientific standard, however I have significant reservations, as outlined above.

Not approved Fundamental flaws in the paper seriously undermine the findings and conclusions An overall well written article. However, a further grammar check is advised. The introduction is concise and explain the importance of analyzing the role of postural hypotension as dengue warning signs well, it is also a novel variable that should be researched further. The methods is also explained well, starting from type of studies, inclusion and exclusion criteria, sample size, to the explanation of the statistical analysis. The usage of CHAID method to make a decision tree model is an excellent decision that differentiate this study from other dengue warning sign research. The results answered the question of the research, starting from the adjusted odds ratio, the optimal cut-off of fall in SBP, up until the diagnostic accuracy of the decision tree. However, there is one comment, why do the author think that the result of the multiple logistic regression analysis resulted in only ascites/pleural effusion and fall in postural SBP that reached significant value? Is it possible that there is some biases that played some role? The discussion discusses the results well, explaining the importance of the results, as well as how this study compare to other. One comment is related to the result, the author should explain why the other warning signs doesn't have a significant value other than ascites/pleural effusion and fall in postural SBP Is the work clearly and accurately presented and does it cite the current literature? Yes Is the study design appropriate and is the work technically sound? Yes Are sufficient details of methods and analysis provided to allow replication by others? Yes If applicable, is the statistical analysis and its interpretation appropriate? Partly Are all the source data underlying the results available to ensure full reproducibility? Yes Are the conclusions drawn adequately supported by the results? Yes Competing Interests No competing interests were disclosed.

These 7 parameters have been studied in various studies to identify the relative importance of each one of them in predicting severe dengue. Tamibmaniam et al(1) have studied 657 patients with dengue of whom 59 had severe dengue. Even though many parameters were associated with severe dengue in simple logistic regression, adjusted odds ratios were significant for 3 parameters only after multiple logistic regression analysis (Fluid accumulation, vomiting and hypotension). Other parameters did not reach statistical significance in this multiple logistic regression. Our findings are also in line with these observations. It appears that some of the parameters seem to be having stronger independent association compared to other parameters. Our findings suggest that Postural fall in Systolic Blood Pressure and Pleural effusion/Ascites have much stronger independent associations with severe dengue, compared to other warning signs, resulting in relatively lower significance for other warning symptoms. Hence, these findings are unlikely to be due to bias. 1. Tamibmaniam J, Hussin N, Cheah WK, Ng KS, Muninathan P.
