Daily Cholinesterase Enzyme Activity and Daily Mental Status. The predicted probabilities of normal mental status, comatose mental status, and delirious mental status for acetylcholinesterase (AChE, panel A), acetylcholinesterase per hemoglobin (AChE/Hgb, panel B), and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE, panel C) activity levels are displayed. The P values represent the independent associations of the enzyme value on the odds of comatose vs. normal mental status or delirious vs. normal mental status. Greater AChE enzyme activity levels had decreased odds of normal mental status and were significantly associated with a higher odds of delirious mental status on the same day (P = 0.045) but not comatose mental status (P = 0.13). AChE/Hgb and BChE activity levels did not show clear relationships with normal mental status and were not significantly associated with odds of comatose or delirious mental status
