Implication

Cross-sectional study shows strong positive correlation between creatine phosphokinase levels and organophosphate poisoning severity, indicating potential use in prognosis.

Key Points

To evaluate the correlation of creatine phosphokinase levels with the severity of organophosphate poisoning.
Cross-sectional study conducted in an emergency department
60 patients with organophosphate poisoning enrolled
Severity assessed using the Peradeniya Organophosphate Compound Poisoning Scale
Blood samples collected for serum creatine phosphokinase levels
Paired t-test and Pearson correlation coefficient used for analysis.
Mean serum CPK level was 615.95 IU/L
Patients with severe POP scores had mean CPK level of 1374.33 IU/L
Pearson correlation coefficient revealed r = 0.807, indicating strong positive correlation with severity.
