Purpose:We examined risk factors of dengue hemorrhagic fever death in Sardjito hospital.
Method: We conducted case control study from patient medical records and interview with parents.
Results: We found 29 deaths and 58 survived. The probability of death in obesity children was 6.29 times higher than non obesity children and the probability of death in children with prolonged shock was 12.14 times higher than children without prolonged shock. Other variables were family occupation, family income, residential zones, transportation, treatment financing, accuracy of diagnosis in previous health facilities, and fluid resuscitation before being referred has no significant relationship with dengue mortality.
Conclusion: Obesity and prolonged shock were risk factors of dengue hemorrhagic fever death in children. Improve education to parents about high risk of shock syndrome among patients, especially for obesity children. Further studies related to social determinants in dengue hemorrhagic fever death are also necessary.
