Application of a decision tree model in the early identification of severe patients with severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome.

<h4>Background</h4>Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is a serious infectious disease with a fatality of up to 30%. To identify the severity of SFTS precisely and quickly is important in clinical practice.<h4>Methods</h4>From June to July 2020, 71 patients adm...
