Acid-base interpretation can be the predictor of outcome among patients with acute organophosphate poisoning before hospitalization

Correlation between Serum Creatine Phosphokinase and Severity of Acute Organophosphorus Poisoning: A Prospective Clinical Study (2012-2013

“…Acidosis is a major predisposing factor that influences the severity of poisoning and outcome of patients with acute OP poisoning [39]. Liu et al [5] detected that the acid-base interpretation (on arrival) was well correlated with the severity and mortality of acute OP poisoning i.e. the mortality rate was lowest in the group of patients without acidosis and highest in the group with acidosis (metabolic or respiratory).…”

“…Their easy availability combined with their sale over the counter has resulted in a gradual increase in poisoning with these agents [3]. Poisoning with OP compounds is important global health problem, and is possibly the most common acute poisoning in the developing countries [4,5]. More than 100 different OP compounds have been synthesized.…”

Study of Levels of Serum Creatine Phosphokinase and Liver Enzymes as a Prognostic Indicators in Acute Organophosphorus Poisoning

“…[7] In our study, the incidence of OP poisoning is higher in the age group of 21-30 years (38.8%), followed by 23.8% in the age group 11-20 years. This is consistent with the study done by Bhattacharyya et al [8] which showed that most commonest age group is 21-30 years and also in Mcihammet G et al [9].…”

Multi-organ dysfunction syndrome with dual organophosphate pesticides poisoning

“…Pre-treatment metabolic and respiratory acidosis directly correlates between the severity of poisoning and mortality. [5]…”
