An algorithm including codes 965.4 (ICD-9-CM) and T39.1 (ICD-10) was highly accurate (sensitivity 90% [95% confidence interval 84\u201394%], specificity 83% [69\u201393%], positive predictive value 95% [89\u201398%], negative predictive value 71% [57\u201383%], c-statistic 0.87 [0.80\u20130.93]). Algorithms for hepatotoxicity (including codes for hepatic necrosis, toxic hepatitis and encephalopathy) and ALF (hepatic necrosis and encephalopathy) were also highly predictive (c-statistics = 0.88). The accuracy of the algorithms was not affected by age, gender, or ICD coding system, but the acetaminophen overdose algorithm varied between hospitals (c-statistics 0.84\u20130.98; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.003).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Administrative databases can be used to identify patients with acetaminophen overdose and hepatic complications.
