Alized population of a tertiary care center.at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital involving the administration of no less than 1 dose of an acetaminophencontaining medication. The cumulative dose of acetaminophen exceeded 4 g on a minimum of 1 day in the course of 1119 (two.six ) of those admissions (Figure 1). We discovered that admissions involving administration of acetaminophen in excess of four g on at the very least 1 day have been statistically significantly much more probably to involve sufferers who had been slightly older, have been white, had shorter lengths of keep, have been admitted to a surgical service (especially orthopedic surgery), and had received a bigger variety of acetaminophen-containing medication formulations (Table 1). On the 1119 admissions involving the administration of far more than 4 g of acetaminophen on no less than 1 day, within the majority of cases, the maximum dose on any day through the admission was among four and 5 g. However, the maximum cumulative dose on a single hospital day exceeded five g in 30 of cases and exceeded six g in 4 of situations (Figure two). There was a single admission involving administration of 10 g of acetaminophen during a single day, and in no cases were bigger amounts of acetaminophen administered inside a single day. Most admissions involving the administration of much more than four g of acetaminophen did so for a quick duration of time. The typical duration of every day exposure to acetaminophen at doses in excess of four g every day was 1.3 days (variety, 1-10 days) in this cohort, which had an average length of stay of six.2 days. At least 1 dose of acetaminophen was administered each day for the duration of the majority of hospital days for this group (Figure 3). With the admissions involving the administration of additional than 4 g of acetaminophen on at the very least 1 day, acetaminophen use was restricted to a single formulation in 22 of circumstances. Two distinct acetaminophen-containing formulations had been administered during the course of these admissions in 46 of situations, 3 distinct formulations in 20 of instances, and four or additional distinct formulations in 11 of situations (Figure four). Along with acetaminophen alone, acetaminophen-containing combination medicines also most commonly con-Gastroenterology Hepatology Volume ten, Challenge 1 JanuaryCIVAN ET ALTable 1.
