Abstract
Severe hemorrhagic fever disease is caused by severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) infection, which belongs to the Phlebovirus genus in the Bunyaviridae family. A comprehensive literature search of PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure databases, Wan Fang Data, Sinomed Database, and VIP database was conducted for articles which have described the clinical manifestation of deceased patients. Data from selected studies were pooled by using STATA VERSION 15.0 software. Finally, 29 articles comprising 4717 laboratory-confirmed SFTSV cases were included in this analysis. We found there were significant differences between the two groups for fatigue, headache, underlying disease, vomiting, diarrhea, skin bleeding, neurological symptoms, arrhythmia, diffuse intravascular coagulation, and multiple organ failure. There were some significant differences between the fatal and nonfatal groups, and we need to pay more attention to the above symptoms to distinguish between fatal and nonfatal patients.
