  2. Article ; Online: The presence of abdominal pain associated with acetaminophen overdose does not predict severity of liver injury.

    Abstract Aim: Whilst it is known that abdominal pain is a common symptom in patients with acetaminophen overdose, its association with severity of liver injury has not been clearly defined. This study investigates the association between the symptom of abdominal pain on presentation to hospital and the degree of liver injury post-acetaminophen overdose.
    Methods: Admissions with acetaminophen poisoning, requiring treatment with acetylcysteine were identified and reviewed from a search of a large Australian tertiary hospital network from February 20th, 2014, to August 30th, 2018. Parameters such as presence of abdominal pain, time post-ingestion and peak ALT were collected. Single acute ingestions, staggered and repeated supratherapeutic ingestions were analysed.
    Results: 539 cases were identified in the study period, 79% female, with mean age 25 (17-43) years. Patients presenting to the emergency department with abdominal pain post-acetaminophen overdose had a similar risk of developing hepatotoxicity or acute liver injury compared to patients without abdominal pain regardless of time to presentation. Patients presenting <8-h post-overdose with abdominal pain were as likely to develop hepatotoxicity (1/46, 2.2%) compared to those without abdominal pain (1/54 [1.9%]; OR = 1.18 [0.07 to 19.4]). Those presenting >8-h post-overdose with abdominal pain were as likely to develop hepatotoxicity (13/92, 14.1%) compared to those without abdominal pain (4/35 [11.4%]; OR = 1.28 [0.39 to 4.21]).
    Conclusions: The presence of abdominal pain after acetaminophen overdose was not predictive of the development of liver injury in patients receiving acetylcysteine treatment. Further prospective studies are required to confirm this finding. The data that support the findings of this study are available on request from the corresponding author. The data are not publicly available due to privacy or ethical restrictions.

    Abstract Since December 2019, coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has been increasingly spreading from its origin in Wuhan, China to many countries around the world eventuating in morbidity and mortality affecting millions of people. This pandemic has proven to be a challenge given that there is no immediate cure, no vaccine is currently available and medications or treatments being used are still undergoing clinical trials. There have already been examples of self-medication and overdose. Clearly, there is a need to further define the efficacy of treatments used in the management of COVID-19. This evidence needs to be backed by large randomised-controlled clinical trials. In the meantime, there will no doubt be further off-label use of these medications by patients and practitioners and possibly related toxicity.
