What is Development of Delayed Neurologic Sequelae in Acute Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Cases Caused by Briquette-based Kotatsu about?
## Abstract Briquette-based kotatsu, a traditional Japanese heating system, is still used in rural areas and has been linked to the development of acute carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. This study aimed to investigate the occurrence of delayed neurologic sequelae (DNS) in patients with acute CO poisoning caused by briquette-based kotatsu. This retrospective study included 17 patients treated for acute CO poisoning due to briquette-based kotatsu, between April 2017 and March 2020. Patients were divided into either a sequelae group (3 patients) or a non-sequelae group (14 patients) based on the presence or absence, respectively, of DNS. Demographic data, kotatsu characteristics, clinical findings, and therapies were compared between the 2 groups. Significant differences were noted in patient posture during their initial discovery. Specifically, all non-sequelae patients only had their legs under the kotatsu quilt and all sequelae patients had their entire bodies under the kotatsu quilt (__P__ = .001). There were no statistically significant differences in carbon monoxide levels in hemoglobin (CO-Hb) or the creatine-kinase myocardial band (CK-MB), between the 2 groups; however, troponi
