Abstract:
Millions of people are poisoned by various materials every year. Paying attention to the causes of poisoning, as well as preventing it, will reduce costs and mortality by reducing the risk of unintended poisoning by identifying the epidemiologic characteristics of those who are more exposed to poisoning agents. This was a cross-sectional study conducted on 191 patients who were admitted with a poisoning complaint at Imam Khomeini Hospital of Sari during the year 2018. Demographic data and information related to poisoning were recorded. Dada data were analyzed using SPSS 16 software Out of 191 patients, 54.4% (104) were male and 45.6% (87) were female. 50.3% were in the age group of 25 to 45 years old. Drug poisoning was the most common type of poisoning among patients (44.5%). The most common reasons for poisoning were suicide (33%), drug abuse (27.2%) and accidental poisoning (25.1%). 72.2% of patients had a history of previous poisoning. The most common symptoms were dizziness (36.35%) and nausea (4.31%). 92.1% of patients were discharged in the first 24 hours. Result showed that the highest rate of poisoning is intentionally suicidal due to the availability of drugs and the next reason is accidental poisoning. A large number of people with this disorder are discharged within the first 72 hours, and many with personal satisfaction leave the hospital, most of them with a low level of education and an average monthly income and have history of poisoning.
