Aluminum phosphide (ALP) poisoning is a crucial health problem owing to its easy availability, extreme potency, and absence of specific treatment modalities. This study aimed to assess the role of the glucose/potassium (Glu-K) ratio in predicting the severity and adverse outcomes of acute ALP poisoning. The current retrospective cohort study involved patients with acute ALP poisoning who were admitted to Tanta University Poison Control Center from June 2022 to June 2024.

Background: Acute aluminum phosphide (ALP) poisoning presents a significant global medical challenge, particularly in regions where it is commonly used as a pesticide. Despite medical advancements, mortality rates from ALP poisoning remain high. Glucose-insulin-potassium (GIK) infusion therapy has emerged as a potential treatment for ALP poisoning due to its ability to counteract its toxic effects on metabolism and heart function.
