UNASSIGNED: With an incidence rate of 200,000 cases annually and the induction of numerous complications, caustic ingestion imposes a significant burden on the healthcare system. Apart from being fatal in some cases, this injury affects its victims\' quality of life as it is followed by many gastrointestinal problems. This injury mainly occurs accidentally among children, whereas in adults, it often occurs with suicidal intentions. Despite recent advances in internal medicine, gastroenterology, and toxicology, this type of injury remains a debilitating and, in some cases, fatal disorder for its victims.
UNASSIGNED: This study retrospectively evaluated the clinical, laboratory, and endoscopic findings of 150 patients admitted to a referral center of toxicology and forensic medicine and assessed factors associated with each type of injury.
UNASSIGNED: The findings indicated a mortality rate as high as 7.3% in this population. Age, pH, and previous medical conditions were associated with more complications. Higher degrees of injury were also significantly associated with higher mortality. No significant difference was observed between types of corrosive substances.
UNASSIGNED: It seems that the most effective intervention for controlling caustic ingestion injuries would be psychiatric support, primary healthcare, and household education.
UNASISIGNED:每年20万例病例的发病率和大量并发症的发生,苛性摄入给医疗保健系统带来了巨大的负担。除了在某些情况下是致命的,这种伤害会影响受害者的生活质量,因为它伴随着许多胃肠道问题。这种伤害主要发生在儿童中,而在成年人中,它经常发生自杀意图。尽管内科最近取得了进展,胃肠病学,和毒理学,这种类型的伤害仍然使人衰弱,在某些情况下,对受害者来说是致命的疾病。
未经证实:本研究回顾性评估了临床,实验室,和150例患者进入毒理学和法医学转诊中心的内镜检查结果,并评估了与每种类型损伤相关的因素。
未经评估:研究结果表明,该人群的死亡率高达7.3%。年龄,pH值,和以前的医疗条件与更多的并发症有关。较高程度的损伤也与较高的死亡率显著相关。在腐蚀性物质的类型之间没有观察到显着差异。
UNASSIGNED:似乎控制腐蚀性摄入伤害的最有效干预措施是精神支持,初级卫生保健,和家庭教育。
