BACKGROUND
•Dengue shock syndrome is a serious complication of dengue fever
•Characterized by
•Vascular leakage
•Disorder of hemostasis
•The mainstay of therapy is by intravenous fluid replacement.
•However, there has long been a debate about whether crystalloid or
colloid solutions should be used during initial management of
dengue shock syndrome.
THE QUESTION
•Crystalloid or colloid
•Which one is better during initial management of dengue shock syndrome
•In respect to clinical outcome and blood parameters
LITERATURE SEARCH
•We searched PubMed and Cochrane database
•Search term – “dengue AND shock AND syndrome AND randomized controlled
trial [Publication Type]”
•Search results were manually filtered by
•Studies comparing colloid vs crystalloid solutions in early management of dengue shock syndrome
OUTCOME
•Primary outcome
•Recurrent shock after initial therapy
•Secondary outcome
•Drop in hematocrit after initial therapy
INCLUSION OF STUDIES
•Inclusion criteria
•Compare crystalloid vs colloid therapy for initial management of DSS
•Available outcome –recurrent shock and drop of hematocrit
•All literature search results were reviewed independently by both authors
•First by Title, then Abstract and then Full Text
•Any contradiction was resolved by discussion between the authors
•Three studies qualified for inclusion in this meta-analysis
INCLUSION FLOWCHART
56 results found by

DATA EXTRACTION AND CALCULATION
•Data was extracted after reading the full text of the
included studies
•A table was made from the extracted data regarding
•Occurrence of recurrent shock after initial fluid management
•Drop in hematocrit after initial fluid management
•For calculation RevMan 5.3 software was used
•We decided to use a fixed effect model for the purpose of
the calculations
ANALYIS RESULTS: RECURRENT SHOCK
•The odds ratio of crystalloid vs colloid was 1.17
•Confidence interval was 0.83 to 1.65
•Heterogeneity
•I2 = 0%
•Overall effect
•Z = 0.89 (P = 0.37)
ANALYIS RESULTS: HEMATOCRIT DECREASE
•The mean difference of crystalloid vs colloid was -4.46
•Confidence interval was -5.23 to -3.69
•Heterogeneity
•I2 = 15%
•Overall effect
•Z = 11.34 (P < 0.00001)
RECURRENT SHOCK HEMATOCRIT DROP
FUNNEL PLOTS
SUMMARY
•The meta-analysis shows slight advantage of
colloid in decreasing hematocrit
•No significant difference between crystalloids and
colloids in terms of preventing recurrent shock.
LIMITATIONS
•Small number of included studies
•Only 3 studies met the inclusion criteria
•Large P value (0.37) for the comparison of
recurrent shock
CONCLUSION
•In the light of the finding of this meta-analysis, the current guideline seems
appropriate in managing dengue shock syndrome.
•Which uses crystalloid first and then uses colloid for management of recurrent shock
•However colloid was significantly better at reducing hematocrit early
•So further studies may be warranted to explore the role of colloids in the initial
management of dengue shock syndrome
