| dc.description.abstract | Survival analysis was used in this study to determine the distribution of survival times of dengue patients confined in San Jose City general Hospital-PMDT STC (SJCGH-PMDT STC) using Kaplan –Meier Estimator, a nonparametric technique. Dengue is an acute viral illness caused by Aedes mosquitoes, In the Philippines, it is considered as one of its eight pervasive diseases infecting almost 179,540 Filipinos from January 1, 2018 to November 17, 2018. Thus it is important to conduct a study for the said ailment. Records of dengue patients from the years 2017 to 2018 were gathered from the records section of SJCGH-PMDT STC. The data included the social characteristics of patients such as age, sex and civil status and other factors such as presence of Dengvaxia and ward type the patients were admitted. All in all, there were a total of 297 documented accounts of dengue cases and of these, 246 were put in survival analysis and 51 were censored. There is no death recorded in the gathered data. The average length of stay of dengue patients in the hospital who either survived or got censored is 9.4141+0.2012 days. The shortest and longest length of stays of dengue patients were two (2) days and twenty three (23), respectively, Kaplan Meier Estimator gives the estimated median survival time which is nine (9) days, wherein survival estimate was found to be 51.45 percent, meaning after 9 days, 51-45 percent of dengue patients were discharged from the hospital. Logrank test shown that age, civil status and ward type patients were admitted were significant factors that affect the length of survival of dengue patient. While sex and Dengvaxia did not affect the length of survival of dengue patients, while sex and Dengvaxia did not affect the length of survival of dengue patients. Males and those individuals aged 24 and below more likely to be infected by the disease. | |
