Abstract

Background : Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a viral infection transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito,  wherein high fever can adversely affect a patient's hematological outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of paracetamol administration on clinical outcome parameters in DHF patients at RSI Sultan Agung Semarang.  Methods: A retrospective, quantitative, observational, and analytical approach with a cross-sectional design was employed. Purposive sampling was used to select 166 medical records of DHF patients containing data on body temperature, hematocrit, platelets, and leukocytes; the data were analyzed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Mann-Whitney tests via SPSS version 27. Results: The majority of patients were male (51.8%) and belonged to the pediatric age group (69.9%). The Mann-Whitney test confirmed a significant effect (p < 0.05) of paracetamol administration on reducing body temperature and regulating hematocrit, platelet, and leukocyte levels. Conclusion: Paracetamol administration significantly influenced the improvement of clinical outcomes, specifically regarding the reduction of body temperature and hematological values in DHF patients.
