未经批准:急性中毒是一个重大的国际公共卫生问题,也是急诊科(ED)死亡的主要原因之一。在以前没有任何描述叙利亚中毒情况的报告的情况下,本研究旨在评估21年来中毒的流行病学和临床特征。
UNASSIGNED:我们从1999年1月至2020年12月从叙利亚毒物信息中心(SPIC)回顾性收集了数据。数据包括意外或非意外接触毒药的患者,要么通过药物,药物,和生物物质或主要是非药用来源的物质,如肥皂和洗涤剂,腐蚀性物质,杀虫剂,和其他杂项产品。
未经评估:我们收集了120,972名中毒患者的数据,其中52.6%是女性,男性占47.4%。阿勒颇省报告的中毒病例最多(28.6%),其次是大马士革省(19.9%)。最高的中毒率记录在2020年,2014年和2010年。药物(37.0%)和动物(33.8%)来源是最常见的病原体。口服途径是58.3%病人的中毒途径,33.4%通过皮肤。最常见的毒药是蝎子刺19.5%,而最常见的死亡原因是有机磷酸酯15.7%。
未经评估:社会经济地位的差异,文化习惯,国家之间的农业和工业活动导致了最常见中毒剂的波动状态。
联合国:大马士革和阿勒颇,叙利亚的两个主要省份,中毒病例最高。口服药剂是大多数中毒病例的原因。最常见的个体毒药是蝎子毒药,而头号杀手是有机磷.
Acute poisoning is a significant international public health issue and one of the leading causes of death in the emergency department (ED). In the absence of any previous reports describing the poisoning profile in Syria, we present this study to assess the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of poisoning over 21 years.
We collected the data retrospectively from the Syrian Poisons Information Centre (SPIC) from January 1999 until December 2020. The data included patients who had accidental or non-accidental exposure to poisons, either by drugs, medicaments, and biological substances or substances chiefly nonmedicinal sources such as soaps and detergents, corrosive substances, pesticides, and other miscellaneous products.
We collected the data of 120,972 poisoned patients, of whom 52.6% were females, and 47.4% were males. Aleppo governorate reported the highest number of poisoned cases (28.6%), followed by Damascus governorate (19.9%). The highest poisoning rates were recorded in 2020, 2014, and 2010. Pharmaceutical (37.0%) and animal (33.8%) sources were the most common causative agents. The oral route was the route of poisoning in 58.3% of patients, and 33.4% through the skin. The most common poison was scorpion stings 19.5% while the most common cause of death was organophosphates 15.7%.
The differences in socioeconomic status, cultural habits, and agricultural and industrial activities between countries have led to a state of fluctuation regarding the most common poisoning agents.
Damascus and Aleppo, the two major governorates in Syria, had the highest poisoning cases. Oral administration of pharmaceutical agents was responsible for most of the poisoning cases. The most common individual poison was the scorpion poison, while the top killer was organophosphates.
