Table 7. Outcome of dengue patients.

Note: Data was presented as mean±SD for continuous variables and number with percent in the parenthesis for categorical variables. For 2×2 contingency tables, we used the chi-square test. For 2×3 contingency tables, the chi-square test with Yates' continuity correction was applied to estimate the p-value. An independent sample t-test for continuous variables was used to assess the p-value.
