| Summary: | Single frequency bioelectrical impedance
analysis (BIA) is an inexpensive, quick and painless
means of estimating body composition. In this paper,
BIA parameters employed for predicting hemoglobin
(Hb) in dengue patients. The BIA technique passes
low-amplitude electrical current, in the range of 500pA
to 800[A, at a single frequency of 50 kHz. BIA data
was sampled from 210 (comprises of 119 males and 91
females) serologically confirmed dengue fever (DF) and
dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) patients, hospitalized
at the Hospital Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia
(HUKM). After applying multiple regression analysis,
was found out that reactance, sex, weight and vomiting
were found to be significant independent determinants of
predicting Hb. |
