Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever is a type of arbovirus disease obtained from 2 types of mosquitoes, namely Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti where these two types of mosquitoes are important disease problems in almost all countries in the world, especially in countries with warmer climates. However, research on dengue risk factors is still independent in various countries, so it cannot be concluded holistically. Through research design, systematic review is able to summarize and answer the causes of DHF in several countries. This research method is a systematic review with guidelines following the PRISMA Cheklist in 2009. Article search uses 5 keywords dengue hemorrhagic fever, risk factors dengue hemorrhagic fever, dengue fever, risk factors dengue fever, dengue. The search includes all literature published between 2016 - 2022. A total of 221 articles were found using four electronic data bases, namely Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct and Scopus. as a search engine with two variations of keywords. However, as many as 189 articles were re-issued due to inappropriate titles and keywords. A full-text assessment was conducted, and as many as 20 were expelled for not meeting the inclusion criteria. Finally, only 12 articles fit the inclusion criteria and content assessment can be carried out. The results of the study found 4 major groups of risk factors that were widely studied, namely sociodemography, place of dwelling, environment and behavior. Sociodemographic factors related to the incidence of DHF are age. Urban areas are the place of dwelling with the most dengue cases. The aspect of the environment that is widely studied is the type of house. The most significant behavioral factor at risk for transmission is PSN (Mosquito Nest Eradication) behavior. Based on systematic reviews, the risk factor that consistently has the highest percentage of significance and the most analyzed of the 10 articles is Environment (37.5%).
