Survival Analysis in Patients with Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) Using Cox Proportional Hazard Regression

Abstract

Indonesia is a tropical country that has two seasons: the rainy season and dry season. In the rainy season frequent flooding or puddles of water that could become mosquito breeding and the spread of various diseases, one of which is the dengue fever. Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is the cause of public health problems with a very rapid deployment and can lead to death within a short time. This causes dengue become one of the attractions to be investigated further. This study discusses the survival analysis and the factors that affect the healing rate of dengue patients using Cox proportional hazard regression based on data from the medical records of hospitalized dengue patients at the Jember Klinik Hospital. The results showed that the factors of age, gender, hemoglobin, trombonist, and hematocrit affect the healing rate of DHF patients.
