Abstract:
Objective To analyze the risk factors for severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome(SFTS)-associated encephalitis and the risk factors for mortality in patients with SFTS-associated encephalitis.Methods The general data and laboratory indicators of 266 SFTS patients hospitalized at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from October 2010 to October 2022 were retrospectively collected.Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for the occurrence of encephalitis in SFTS patients and the risk factors for the death of SFTS-related encephalitis patients,and a nomogram graph model was constructed to predict the risk of encephalitis in SFTS patients based on the results of multifactorial logistic regression analysis.Results Among the 266 SFTS patients included,84(31.6％)devel-oped encephalitis.Logistic regression analysis of general data and laboratory indicators indicated that age,gamma-glutamyl γ-transpep-tidase(GGT),and low levels of platelets(PLT)were the independent risk factors for the occurrence of encephalitis in SFTS patients.Among the 84 SFTS patients with encephalitis,47 cases(56.0％)died.Logistic regression analysis showed that activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT)was the independent risk factors for mortality in SFTS-related encephalitis patients.A nomogram model for predicting the occurrence of encephalitis in SFTS patients was constructed based on the above three independent risk factors.The area under the ROC curve(AUCROC)for the training and validation sets under the model was 0.755 and 0.778,respectively,suggesting good predictive performance.Conclusion Age,GGT,and low PLT levels were the independent risk factors for the occurrence of en-cephalitis in SFTS patients,and APTT was the independent risk factors for mortality in SFTS-related encephalitis patients.The nomo-gram model constructed based on the independent risk factors for the occurrence of encephalitis in the patients with SFTS demonstrated high predictive efficacy.
