Prognostic factors of carbon monoxide poisoning in Taiwan: a retrospective observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To identify the risk factors related to the prognosis of carbon monoxide (CO)-poisoned patients in the hospital.

Design

Retrospective observational study.

Setting

Tri-Service General Hospital, Taiwan.

Methods

We conducted a review of the medical records of 669 CO-poisoned patients, who were admitted to the Department of Emergency, Tri-Service General Hospital, Taiwan, from 2009 to 2014. Demographic, clinical and laboratory data were collected for analysis. In the study, the end points for poor outcome were patients who either still had sequelae, were bedridden or died after treatment. The independent t-test, χ² test and binary logistic regression were used to identify the association between the prognostic factors and the outcomes.
