  1. *Median (interquartile range) enzyme activity level in Units/L for AChE and BChE and in Units/gram hemoglobin for AChE/Hgb
  2. The median acetylcholinesterase (AChE), acetylcholinesterase per hemoglobin (AChE/Hgb), and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) activity levels on days 1, 3, 5, and 7 are displayed. The median activity levels overall, along with activity levels on days with normal, comatose, and delirious mental status are also displayed
