This retrospective study included patients admitted from January 2015 to December 2019 because of pesticide intoxication. We compared parameters assessing the acid-base status between two groups, survivors and non-survivors. Associations between parameters and 30-days mortality were investigated. A total of 797 patients were analyzed. In non-survivors, pH, bicarbonate concentration (HCO3\u2212), total concentration of carbon dioxide (tCO2), BE, and effective strong ion difference (SIDe) were lower and apparent strong ion difference (SIDa), strong ion gap (SIG), total concentration of weak acids, and corrected anion gap (corAG) were higher than in survivors. In the multivariable logistic analysis, BE, corAG, SIDa, and SIDe were associated with mortality. PCA identified four principal components related to mortality. SIDe, HCO3\u2212, tCO2, BE, SIG, and corAG were loaded to principal component 1 (PC1), referred as total buffer bases to receive and handle generated acids. PC1 was an important factor in predicting mortality irrespective of the pesticide category. PC3, loaded mainly with pCO2, suggested respiratory components of the acid-base system. PC3 was associated with 30-days mortality, especially in organophosphate or carbamate poisoning. Our study showed that acid-base abnormalities were associated with mortality in patients with acute pesticide poisoning. We reduced these variables into four PCs, resembling the physicochemical approach, revealed that PCs representing total buffer bases and respiratory components played an important role in acute pesticide poisoning.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/toxics9020022","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,25]],"date-time":"2021-01-25T12:28:31Z","timestamp":1611577711000},"page":"22","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Impact of Acid-Base Status on Mortality in Patients with Acute Pesticide Poisoning"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2550-2739","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hyo-Wook","family":"Gil","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Soonchunhyang University Cheonan Hospital, Cheonan 31151, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Min","family":"Hong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Software Convergence, Soonchunhyang University, Asan 31538, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6482-3511","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"HwaMin","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Software Convergence, Soonchunhyang University, Asan 31538, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nam-jun","family":"Cho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Soonchunhyang University Cheonan Hospital, Cheonan 31151, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4513-9888","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eun-Young","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Soonchunhyang University Cheonan Hospital, Cheonan 31151, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5717-0743","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Samel","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Soonchunhyang University Cheonan Hospital, Cheonan 31151, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"8604","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-019-44986-7","article-title":"Epidemiological characteristics of pesticide poisoning in Jiangsu Province, China, from 2007 to 2016","volume":"9","author":"Wang","year":"2019","journal-title":"Sci.
