Overview

Systematic review estimates arrhythmias in dengue patients at 24.48%, highlighting the need for ECG monitoring.

Key Points

  • To estimate the proportion and distribution of cardiac arrhythmias in dengue patients through a systematic review and meta-analysis.
  • Conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies on dengue and arrhythmias.
  • Searched databases: PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, LILACS, Global Index Medicus, Google Scholar.
  • Included studies reporting rhythm disturbance in dengue patients and assessed risk of bias using the Joanna Briggs Institute tool.
  • Analyzed 35 studies with 6948 patients; pooled proportion of any arrhythmia was 24.48%.
  • Higher proportion in adults (30.00%) than in children (10.73%).
  • Most common arrhythmias were sinus bradycardia (11.84%) and sinus tachycardia (10.63%).
  • Atrioventricular block was uncommon (1.33%).
