Abstract
- Background: Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging infectious disease with high lethality. This study aimed to determine whether prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) predicted SFTS mortality. Methods: SFTS patients were enrolled from 6 hospitals in the north China. Subjects were divided into training cohort and 5 externally validation cohorts. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator Cox regression model was performed to screen potential prognostic factors. Risk factors were analyzed using multivariable regression models. Prognostic models were established by Cox regression and random survival forest (RSF) methods, and evaluated regarding discrimination, validity and clinical benefit. Time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive effectiveness of variables. Results: 1332 SFTS cases were included, in which 211 patients died. Six potential prognostic factors were screened, and pulse, breath, APTT and aspartic transaminase (AST) were independently associated with mortality in both training cohort (Yantai, N = 791) and external validation cohort (N = 541). APTT was steadily correlated with the fatality (HR: 1.039–1.144; all P
