Phase I identified the expressed microRNAs (miRNAs) in pooled samples from acetaminophen toxicity (APAP-TOX) patients and acetaminophen overdose with no toxicity (APAP-no TOX) patients. In Phase II, expressed miRNAs were quantified in 27 APAP-TOX and 27 APAP-no TOX patients. For data processing, Ct values were calibrated for RNA recovery using the cel-miR-39-3p assay (which detects a synthetic miRNA spiked in to each sample during sample prep). In Phase III, random forest analysis was performed to develop the classifier model that was subsequently tested in the test set.
