20241 citationOpen accessStellenbosch University

Abstract

A high case fatality rate was observed in the studied population. Early identification of at-risk individuals and prompt initiation of NAC can reduce poor outcomes. Larger multicentre studies are needed to identify independent predictors of paracetamol-induced hepatoxicity and mortality in Africa.
