  1. DPF- Days Post Fever; DPP- Days Post Presentation; LOS- Length of Stay; COR- Conditional Odds Ratio; IQR- Interquartile range.
  2. *Adjusted Conditional Odds Ratio (ACOR) was obtained from a multivariate conditional logistic regression with test variables being adjusted by age and diabetes mellitus. Data in bold are risk factors involved in the most optimal predictive model of ICU requirement at first presentation.
