Comparison of selected demographic, clinical and laboratory explanatory variables, and patient outcome data between dengue PCR positive patients with and without SD.

Continuous data are summarized by median values and interquartile range, dichotomous by numbers and proportions. P-values are determined using the Wilcoxon's tests for continuous variables and Chi-square test for dichotomous variables. Covariates with statistically significant differences (p-value<0.05) in median or proportions are highlighted in bold font. Note: the univariate tests are only descriptive and should not be used for the triaging of patients.
