Abstract

Background: POP scale and serum cholinesterase levels may be effective indicators for mortality in organophosphorus poisoning. The objective of this study was to assess the POP scale score and serum cholinesterase levels at initial presentation in OP poisoning and its correlation with need for ventilator support and mortality.

Methods: One hundred and fifty eligible participants were recruited, and POP scale and serum cholinesterase levels were assessed.

Results: Total 32.7% patients died; of which 30 out of 75 belonged to moderate and 19 out of 22 patients belonged to severe group; as per POP scale score. 49 out of 75 in moderate poisoning and all patients in severe poisoning required ventilator support. With respect to serum cholinesterase level; 20 out of 23 and 29 out of 77 patients died in the severe and moderate poisoning categories respectively. Forty eight out of 77 in moderate poisoning and all patients in severe poisoning required ventilator support.

Conclusions: Assessment by POP scale and serum cholinesterase levels is useful in assessing the need for ventilator support and are indicators of mortality in OP poisoning cases.
