Prognosis
Accidental or occupational exposures nearly always have a favourable outcome. About 10% to 20% of symptomatic patients with deliberate self-poisoning die, even in the best intensive care units.[10] Some organophosphates (e.g., dimethoate, monocrotophos, parathion) seem to be more likely to cause death than others. Signs that indicate a high likelihood of death are coma and refractory hypotension.
