Has the time come to stop routine N-acetylcysteine treatment in young children in Denmark? A review of 300 suspected paracetamol overdoses in children aged 0-6 years

Christina Gade et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the prevalence of potentially hepatoxic paracetamol ingestion and associated N-acetylcysteine treatment in young children suspected of paracetamol poisoning. Results showed that initiating N-acetylcysteine as a 'one size fit all' treatment regimen in all children aged 0-6 years with a suspected single paracetamol overdose leads to substantial overtreatment. The data support that it is feasible to initiate N-acetylcysteine within 10 h based on an early plasma-paracetamol test.

Paracetamol-related intentional drug overdose among young people: a national registry study of characteristics, incidence and trends, 2007-2018

Caroline Daly et al.

Summary: This study found an increase in paracetamol-related intentional drug overdoses among young people between 2007 and 2018, with the highest annual percentage change in females aged 18-24 years. Conversely, rates of paracetamol-related intentional drug overdoses decreased significantly among males aged 18-24 years. This highlights the need for interventions targeting IDO in young people, particularly young females.
