Abstract Objectives To evaluate the association between ultrasound assessment of gallbladder wall thickness (GBWT) among severe dengue patients and dengue patients with warning signs to their clinical outcomes. Methods A prospective, cross-sectional study involving adult dengue patients presented to our emergency department between March until September 2018. The patients were classified based on WHO classification. A gallbladder wall scan was performed on all patients. Results A total of 44 patients were enrolled into the study; majority of the patients with GBWT had severe dengue, significantly more than the dengue patients with warning signs (90.5% sensitivity; 69.6% specificity). The sensitivity of GBWT in determining admission to critical care areas or general ward was 100% with a specificity of 62.1%. Our analysis showed that the two variables significant in determining the severity of dengue were age (p = 0.045) and GBWT (p |
