The Prognostic Value of the Glasgow Coma Scale, Serum Acetylcholinesterase and Leukocyte Levels in Acute Organophosphorus Poisoning

CONCLUSION: Although serum Cholinesterase values can be used in the quick diagnosis, their efficiency at predicting outcome in patients with OP poisoning has not been established. It has also been determined that serum leukocyte values have no prognostic value in OP poisoning, but GCS values have been found to be effective in predicting the outcome. Ann Saudi Med 2011 ; 31 (2): 163-166PMID: 21422653 DOI: 10.4103/0256-4947.78203
