The mortality for patients with aspiration pneumonitis was 8.5% compared with 0.4% for those without (odds ratio, 23; 95% confidence interval, 9-60; p < .0001), and they had a significantly higher intensive care unit admission rate. The median length of stay of patients with aspiration pneumonitis was 126 hrs (interquartile range, 62-210 hrs) compared with 14.7 hrs (interquartile range, 7-23 hrs) in patients without (p < .0001). Conclusions: Our study has shown a number of risk factors in overdose patients that are associated with aspiration pneumonitis that may allow the early identification of these patients for appropriate observation and management. Patients with aspiration pneumonitis have a significantly increased mortality and length of stay in the hospital.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:28:05 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52314 Mon 09 Oct 2023 10:24:23 AEDT ]]>
