Current treatment of paracetamol (acetaminophen) poisoning involves initiating a 3-phase N-acetylcysteine (NAC) infusion after comparing a plasma concentration, taken ≥ 4 h post-overdose, to a nomogram. This may result in dosing errors, a delay in treatment, or possibly more adverse effects - due to the use of a high dose rate for the first infusion when treatment is initiated.

Attention Score in Context
Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 August 2013.
All research outputs
#22,376,541
of 34,517,289 outputs
Outputs from Clinical Toxicology (15563650)
#1,885
of 2,698 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#129,295
of 172,133 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Clinical Toxicology (15563650)
#23
of 23 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,517,289 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,698 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 16.9. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 172,133 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 24th percentile – i.e., 24% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 23 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
