Table 12. Correlation between the number of clinical warning signs (<2 versus ≥2) in the old and the new dengue classifications and the required level of care.

Parameter Category < 2 warning signs (N = 246) ≥2 warning signs (N = 111) p-value
Freq. % Freq. %
Old classification DF 237 96 86 78 <0·00001*
DHF/DSS 9 4 25 23
New classification D-W/D+W 215 90 96 89 0·679
SDF 23 10 12 11
Level of care Level I/Level II 222 90 95 86 0·196
Level III 24 10 16 14

DF: dengue fever; DHF: dengue hemorrhagic fever; DSS: dengue shock syndrome; D-W: dengue without warning signs; D+W: dengue with warning signs; SDF: severe dengue fever; because of missing data, frequencies do not sum up to totals in new classification.
