This study focused on risk factors affecting platelet recovery in surviving SFTS patients, which can assist clinicians in the early screening of patients associated with a greater risk of mortality.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec031\">\n<jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of SFTS patients admitted to Yantai Qishan Hospital throughout 2023. According to the Diagnosis and Treatment Guideline (2023 edition), the platelet recovery in 14 days was set as outcome. The multivariate Cox regression was used to identify independent risk factors affecting platelet recovery and the Kaplan-Meier was performed to evaluate the probability of 14-day platelet recovery, using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under the curve (AUC) to measure the model\u2019s performance, with clinical benefit assessed by decision curve analysis (DCA).<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec032\">\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>168 SFTS patients were enrolled in the study, with 76.2% (128\/168) achieving platelet (PLT) recovery within 14 days.
