Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to assess the severity of poisoning, various scoring systems, including Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II), Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS II), Modified APACHE II, and poisoning severity score (PSS) were used. In this study, we compared the predictive value of these scoring systems on the outcome of pesticide-poisoned patients.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study of pesticide-poisoned patients (140 patients) who were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of Khorshid Hospital, Isfahan, Iran, between January 2015 and 2019. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUC) curve and the predictive value of scoring systems were compared.
Findings: Poisoning was higher in the male population (72.8%). The causes of poisoning were paraquat, (38.6%), aluminum phosphide, (32.1%), and organophosphate, (29.3%). The mean age of the patients was 33.9 years. Most patients (79.3%) attempted suicide. The mortality rate was 46.43%. The mean of "SOFA score," "APACHE II," "SAPS II," "Modified APACHE II," and "PSS" was 5.9; 15.7; 30.02; 15.8; and 1.9, respectively. There was a significant difference in the mean of all scoring systems for outcome prediction. Among all scoring systems, the SAPS II score with the cutoff point (16.5) had the best criteria for outcome prediction (AUC (0.831 ± 0.037), sensitivity (83.1%, 95% confidence interval [CI]: [71.7-91.2]), specificity (75.7%, 95% CI: [64.3-84.9]), positive predictive values (75.0%, 95% CI: [66.4-82.0]), negative predictive values (83.6%, 95% CI: [74.5-89.9]).
Conclusion: The SAPS II scoring system may be a suitable indicator for outcome predictions in pesticide-poisoned patients in the ICU.
期刊介绍:
The main focus of the journal will be on evidence-based drug-related medical researches (with clinical pharmacists’ intervention or documentation), particularly in the Eastern Mediterranean region. However, a wide range of closely related issues will be also covered. These will include clinical studies in the field of pharmaceutical care, reporting adverse drug reactions and human medical toxicology, pharmaco-epidemiology and toxico-epidemiology (poisoning epidemiology), social aspects of pharmacy practice, pharmacy education and economic evaluations of treatment protocols (e.g. cost-effectiveness studies). Local reports of medication utilization studies at hospital or pharmacy levels will only be considered for peer-review process only if they have a new and useful message for the international pharmacy practice professionals and readers.
