Study population

All patients bitten by a pit viper and treated with CroFab between January 1, 2002 and December 31 2004.

Inclusion criteria

  • Must involve treatment of a human patient with CroFab between January 1, 2002 and December 31, 2004
  • The record must contain all of the following:

    1. Clinical signs/symptoms prior to the first dose of antivenom,
    2. Documentation of all doses of antivenom used to treat the patient,
    3. Indication of whether or not initial control was achieved with antivenom.

To be included in the Efficacy Evaluable Population (EEP) in the current analysis, each record must meet the following criteria:

  • Must contain enough information to calculate a severity score based on the 7-point severity scale.
  • All records were included in the Safety Population in the current analysis.

Exclusion criteria

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Severity score: in order to assess response to therapy, severity scores were calculated and compared across all recorded time points.

    Time frame: at baseline and following treatment with CroFab

Secondary outcomes

  1. The presence of venom effects, comparison of venom effects over time, initial control of venom effects, recurrence of venom effects, and delayed onset of venom effects.

    Time frame: following treatment
