Implication

Retrospective analysis characterizes organ dysfunction and in-hospital mortality in acute paraquat poisoning, highlighting urgent needs for intervention.

Key Points

To characterize clinical profiles and organ dysfunction in patients with acute paraquat poisoning and its relationship with mortality outcomes.
Retrospective observational study design
Included adults with acute oral paraquat ingestion
Analyzed demographic data and clinical features
Studied organ involvement and treatment modalities
Twenty-seven patients included with a mean age of 33.4 years
High rates of multiorgan involvement: respiratory failure in 92.6%, acute kidney injury in 77.8%
Overall in-hospital mortality rate of 74.1%
Mortality rates increased with the number of dysfunctional organs: 0% for single, 50% for two, 100% for three or more organ systems involved
