Evaluation of Prognostic Factors of Methanol Poisoning in Patients Referred to Shahid Rajaei Hospital in Karaj
Methanol poisoning is a life-threatening condition that requires accurate prognosis and treatment. This study aims to evaluate the predictive value of laboratory and clinical variables in methanol poisoning.
This was an observational retrospective study performed on patients with methanol poisoning. Variables were determined based on the literature review, and patient data were extracted from the patient’s file. The data was analyzed by SPSS software.
There were significant differences between survived group and the dead group in GCS, heart rate, PH and HCO3, serum potassium, serum creatinine, and blood sugar levels, neurological symptoms, requiring intubation, and hemodialysis. Significant differences were not observed in the number of hemodialysis sessions, respiratory rate, age, gastrointestinal symptoms, and PCO2 levels between survived and non-survived groups.
In our study, mortality was significantly associated with low GCS, high heart rate, low PH and HCO3, high potassium, creatinine, blood sugar levels, neurological symptoms, intubation, and hemodialysis. Despite other studies in this study, there was no association between the number of hemodialysis sessions, respiratory rate, age, gastrointestinal symptoms, and PCO2 levels with mortality.
