Abstract
Our risk prediction instrument identifies a large group of low-risk patients for whom 20-hour intravenous N-acetylcysteine therapy is sufficient. Our results suggest that acute and chronic ethanol use dramatically influences acetaminophen toxicity. This work may facilitate the evaluation of individualized treatment strategies for higher-risk patients.
