Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Proportion of moderate (PCM4 = 100 - 150 mg/L), severe (PCM4 = 150-300 mg/L) or massive acute paracetamol intoxications (PCM4 > 300 mg/L). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Which dosing regimens for acetylcysteine are used in the Netherlands (this will be done using a survey to Dutch hospital pharmacists and is not a part of this research protocol). - In moderate, severe or massive acute paracetamol intoxications: o Proportion of cases where treatment was prolonged after 24hrs o Proportion of cases with hepatotoxicity (peak ALT > 1000 U/L) o Proprotion of cases that have been liver transplanted o Proportion of fatal cases due to acute paracetamol intoxication o Proportion of cases with altered INR o Proportion of cases with adverse events to acetylcysteine that necessitate other treatment o Proportion of cases with manageable adverse event to acetylcysteine - Possible association between PCM4 and secondary outcome parameters (treatment duration, hepatoxicity, liver transplantation, fatalities, altered INR) - Possible association between acetylcysteine treatment regimen and adverse events (manageable and events that necessitate other treatment) | — |
