The Toxicology Working Group of the Catalan Society of Emergency Medicine (SoCMUETox) began the Intox-28 study in 2013. The aim was to identify differences in poisoning cases between 3 age groups.
Descriptive observational study of poisoning cases managed in 8 hospital emergency departments on the 28th day of each month from 2013 to 2019. We gathered information on patient particulars, type of poison, clinical data, and discharge destination. The patient sample was distributed into 3 groups for comparison: minors under the age of 17 years, adults aged 17 to 65 years, and adults over the age of 65 years.
The hospitals registered 1088 cases: 132, 859, and 97 in each age group. In comparisons between the minors and the adults aged 65 years or younger, the minors had more females (58.3% vs 46.1%), fewer recreational poisonings (22% vs 46.1%) more poisonings inside the home (67.4% vs 51.1%), more medication poisonings (49.2% vs 31.1%), and less often received treatment (43.2% vs 73%) (P .001, all comparisons). The proportion of older adults receiving treatment (73.2%) was similar to that of the younger adults.
The characteristics of poisonings vary according to age. Differences lie in gender, intentionality, and type of poison.
加泰罗尼亚急诊医学学会（SoCMUETox）毒理学工作组于 2013 年启动了 Intox-28 研究。目的是确定 3 个年龄组中毒病例之间的差异。
这是一项描述性观察研究，纳入了 2013 年至 2019 年每月 28 日在 8 家医院急诊科管理的中毒病例。我们收集了患者个人资料、中毒类型、临床数据和出院去向的信息。将患者样本分为 3 组进行比较：17 岁以下未成年人、17 至 65 岁成年人和 65 岁以上成年人。
各年龄段的登记中毒病例数分别为 132、859 和 97 例。与 65 岁或 65 岁以下成年人相比，未成年人中女性更多（58.3% vs. 46.1%），娱乐性中毒更少（22% vs. 46.1%），家中中毒更多（67.4% vs. 51.1%），药物中毒更多（49.2% vs. 31.1%），接受治疗的比例更低（43.2% vs. 73%）（P<.001，所有比较）。接受治疗的老年人比例（73.2%）与年轻成年人相似。
中毒的特征因年龄而异。差异在于性别、意图和中毒类型。
