Epidemiological and Clinical profies of Poisoning Cases with a Retrospective Analysis

Abstract

Acute poisoning is a prevalent primary symptom that results in hospitalizations and ED visits in underdeveloped nations like Iran. All the acute poisoning cases admitted in the ICU were studied for epidemiological profiles, poisoning characteristics, and various clinical factors affecting the outcome of the patients. Eighty-five patients with acute poisoning were included in the study. Suicidal attempt leading to acute poisoning was seen in majority of the young population. The epidemiology of various poisonings, the features of clinical presentations, and the outcome predictions are not well documented. Such information can be used to create more effective management and prevention plans to lower the morbidity and death rates associated with these poisonings. This paper details the prevalence of acute poisoning in patients who were admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) (3)
