Characteristics and predictors for gastrointestinal hemorrhage among adult patients with dengue virus infection: Emphasizing the impact of existing comorbid disease(s).

Identification of these risk factors can be incorporated into the patient assessment and management protocol of dengue virus infection to reduce its mortality.
