Risk factors for death and changing patterns in leptospirosis acute renal failure.

摘要: The risk factors for death and changes in clinical patterns leptospirosis (Weil's disease) have not been well studied. We retrospectively studied 110 patients with Weil's disease hospitalized Brazil between 1985 1996. Univariate statistical analysis showed that nonsurvivors were older than survivors, had higher frequency of oliguria, cardiac arrhythmia, dyspnea, pulmonary rales. Logistic regression the only independent factor associated was oliguria (odds ratio [OR] = 8.98). presence arthralgia (OR 4.71), dehydration 6.26), dyspnea 17.7), rales 9.91) increased after 1994. These data suggest changed is a death.
