Abstract
|
|
|
Objective: This study examined the characteristics of acute poisoning patients who visited the emergency room to use as data for developing the treatment support project of acute poisoning patients.
Methods: A total of 2,586 acute in-depth survey data were used for a cross-analysis for poisoning severity, emergency medical treatment result and poisoning reason by age group, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the association of poisoning intentionality and other variables.
Results: Poisoning intentionality risk analysis identified that males had a lower risk than females (P<0.001), and young adults (aged 13-29 years) had the highest risk (P<0.001). In addition, the higher poisoning severity patients had a higher risk than patients who had no poisoning symptom (severe P<0.001, death P=0.029). The older patients had the higher poisoning severity proportion, and the poisoning substance of expired patients was mostly pesticides.
Conclusion: To develop the appropriate emergency medical response system for acute poisoning patients, it is necessary to provide an integrated system for poisoning treatment information and analysis.
