Acute and Postacute Health Care Utilization and Costs After Dengue Infection: A Population-Based Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Emerging evidence suggests that postacute sequelae may arise following dengue infection. There has been no quantification of the risk and burden of acute and postacute health care utilization and cost due to dengue.

Methods

We utilized national notification databases from Singapore to construct cohorts of adults first infected with dengue. We compared 55 870 dengue cases with 3 072 309 population-based controls. We estimate excess risks, rates, and burdens of any all-cause inpatient hospital utilization, length of stay in inpatient settings or number of unique hospital inpatient admissions, any all-cause intensive care unit utilization, length of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) or number of unique ICU admissions, any all-cause emergency department utilizatio
