The effect was attained after adjusting for age, sex, time from disease onset to admission and treatment regimens (ribavirin, corticosteroid and immunoglobulin) by applying GEE. ALT, alanine transaminase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; PLT, platelet; WBC, white blood cell; CK, creatine kinase; ALB, albumin; GLB, globulin; LDH, lactate dehydrogenase; Viral load, SFTSV viral load. For undetectable viral load, a value of half of the limit of detection was assigned.
