Prediction models for encephalitis and in-hospital death associated with severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome
The predictive models developed in this study demonstrated robust performance in predicting both in-hospital death and encephalitis incidence among SFTS patients. Notably, age and ferritin levels emerged as significant independent risk factors, showing strong associations with both clinical outcomes.
