Regarding the outcomes of dengue patients in our study, patients with dengue shock were more likely to: (1) have elevated NT-proBNP, (2) have an elevated troponin T level, (3) develop new onset or increased pleural effusion, (4) have AKI, (5) have a longer hospitalization duration, and (6) have higher in-hospital mortality. Here, NPPB is linked to Pleural effusion.
