ABSTRACT
Background: The incidence of dengue in Mexico has increased in recent decades. It has been suggested that dengue outbreaks
may compromise treatment quality in hospitals.
Objective: The objective of the study was to quantify the burden
imposed by dengue on hospital services in Mexico.
Methods: We analyzed 19.2 million records contained in the database
of hospital services of the Mexican Ministry of Health between 2008 and 2014. The number of admissions due to dengue
was compared to other potentially preventable hospitalizations. Hospital departments were categorized to reflect denguerelated
activity as high dengue activity (HDA), low dengue activity (LDA), or zero dengue activity departments, and the
impact of dengue activity on general in-hospital mortality in HDA departments was assessed.
Results: Dengue was the cause
of more hospital admissions than most of the potentially preventable prevalent acute and chronic conditions and other infectious
diseases. In HDA departments, dengue patient load was found to be a significant risk factor for overall in-hospital
mortality. There was an approximately two-fold higher dengue case-fatality rate in LDA versus HDA departments, irrespective
of dengue severity.
Conclusions: This study confirms that dengue is an important cause of hospitalization in Mexico and
highlights the impact of dengue activity not only on dengue case-fatality rate but also on the overall in-hospital mortality.
