AbstractObjective: Metamfetamine use can cause serious complications or death. We aimed to derive and internally validate a clinical prediction score to predict major effect or death in acute metamfetamine toxicity. Methods: We performed secondary analysis of 1,225 consecutive cases reported from all local public emergency departments to the Hong Kong Poison Information Centre between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2019. We split the entire dataset chronologically into derivation (first 70% of cases) and validation (the remaining 30% of cases) cohorts. Univariate analysis was conducted, followed by multivariable logistic regression in the derivation cohort to identify independent predictors of major effect or death. We developed a clinical prediction score based on the regression coefficients of the independent predictors in the regression model and compared its discriminatory performance with five existing early warning scores in the validation cohort. Results: The MASCOT (Male, Age, Shock, Consciousness, Oxygen, Tachycardia) score was derived based on the six independent predictors: male gender (1 point), age (≥35 years, 1 point), shock (mean arterial pressure <65 mmHg, 3 points), consciousness (Glasgow Coma Scale <13, 2 points), need for supplemental oxygen (1 point), and tachycardia (pulse rate >120 beats/min, 1 point). The score ranges from 0-9, with a higher score indicating higher risk. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the MASCOT score was 0.87 (95% CI 0.81-0.93) in the derivation cohort and 0.91 (95% CI 0.81-1.00) in the validation cohort, with a discriminatory performance comparable with existing scores. Conclusions: The MASCOT score enables quick risk stratification in acute metamfetamine toxicity. Further external validation is warranted before wider adoption. Keywords: Metamfetamine; clinical prediction rules; emergency department; poison centres; poisoning.
