Abstract

Delayed neurologic sequelae (DNS) after carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning manifest as a relapse of neurologic deficits. However, the long-term outcome of DNS has not been fully clarified. Myelin basic protein (MBP) levels in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) have been reported to be elevated in DNS. However, the precise timing and clinical value of the CSF examination have not been fully evaluated. We aimed to clarify the long-term outcome and the factors predicting the outcome of DNS and to evaluate the utility of CSF-MBP for predicting the development and severity of DNS. This work was designed as a single-center, prospective, observational study. We graded DNS severity as Grade 1 (consistent independence), Grade 2 (temporary dependence), or Grade 3 (persistent dependence). We analyzed the percentage categorized in each grade and the parameters associated with outcome. Of 100 patients experiencing acute CO poisoning (median age: 46 years; 69% male), 20 (20%) developed DNS, including six Grade 1 (30%), ten Grade 2 (50%), and four Grade 3 (20%) cases. The Grade 3 patients [median: 77 years; interquartile range (IQR): 76-82] were older than the Grade 1 patients [42; 30-46] (P<0.01); the DNS onset of the Grade 1 patients [median interva...Continue Reading
