Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning from coal and gas heaters is a public health concern in Turkey. This study estimated the prevalence, mortality rate and clinical predictors of severity of CO poisoning cases treated at the emergency unit of the Uludağ University Medical School, Bursa from 1996 to 2006. Of 305 patients treated over a 10-year period, only 1 case was recorded as suicide. The CO source was a coal heater in 85.9% of cases. Mean Glasgow coma score (GCS) on admission was 12.8 (SD 0.2) and mean carboxyhaemoglobin level was 21.6% (SD 0.92%). There were statistically significant associations between higher GCS score, older age and higher HbCO level. Better education of the public is vital for the prevention of these injuries.
一氧化碳（CO）中毒是土耳其公众健康关注的问题之一，本研究旨在评估 1996 年至 2006 年期间在布尔萨的乌鲁达格大学医学院急诊室接受治疗的 CO 中毒患者的发生率、死亡率和严重程度的临床预测因子。在这 10 年期间共治疗了 305 名患者，仅有 1 例记录为自杀。85.9%的 CO 中毒源为煤炭取暖器。入院时平均格拉斯哥昏迷评分（GCS）为 12.8（SD 0.2），平均碳氧血红蛋白水平为 21.6%（SD 0.92%）。GCS 评分较高、年龄较大和 HbCO 水平较高之间存在统计学显著关联。对公众进行更好的教育对于预防这些伤害至关重要。
