Chikungunya Chronic Arthralgia Risk Factors in Burkina Faso, 2024

174 patients with RT-PCR-confirmed chikungunya infection were enrolled in a study at the Medical Center of Pouytenga from April to December 2024. 111 patients met inclusion criteria, with 28.16% developing chronic arthralgia at 6 months. The dataset likely contains results from multivariate logistic regression analysis identifying risk factors such as age and dengue coinfection.

Use Cases

• Identify risk factors for chronic arthralgia based on patient age and coinfection status.
• Analyze the prevalence of initial osteoarticular manifestations based on the reported 92.79% incidence.
• Study the progression to chronicity in chikungunya patients based on the 6-month follow-up data.
• Validate multivariate logistic regression models for clinical prediction based on the reported odds ratios.

Strengths

• Includes 174 enrolled patients with RT-PCR-confirmed infection.
• Provides specific odds ratios for identified risk factors (age >31 years OR=6.22, dengue coinfection OR=18.67).
• Follow-up data collected at 6 months for 111 patients meeting criteria.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data reflects a single medical center in Burkina Faso, which may limit geographic generalizability.
