Résumé en anglais | Background: Routine biological tests are frequently ordered in self-poisoning patients, but their clinical relevance is poorly studied. Patients and methods: Adult self-poisoning patients without severely altered vital status on admission were prospectively included in 5 French hospitals. Routine biological test (serum electrolytes and creatinine, liver enzymes, bilirubin, blood cell count, prothrombin time) prescription and results were analyzed. Results: 1027 patients were enrolled (age 40.2 ± 14 years, women 61.5%), no patient died during the hospital stay. Benzodiazepine were suspected in >70% of cases; 65% (range 48% - 80%) of patients had at least one routine biological test performed. At least one abnormal test was registered in 23% of these patients. Three factors were associated with abnormal test results: age >40 years, male sex, and poisoning with a drug known to alter routine tests (i.e. acetaminophen, NSAIDs, metformine, lithium). Depending on these factors, abnormal results ranged from 14% to 48% (p=0.03). Unexpected severe life threatening conditions were recorded in 6 patients. Only, three patients were referred to the intensive care unit solely because of abnormal test results. Conclusion: Routine biological tests are commonly prescribed in non severe self-poisoning patients. Abnormal results are frequent but their relevance at bedside remains limited. |
