The Toxicology Investigators Consortium (ToxIC) Registry was established by the American College of Medical Toxicology in 2010. The registry collects data from participating sites with the agreement that all bedside and telehealth medical toxicology consultation will be entered. This eleventh annual report summarizes the Registry's 2020 data and activity with its additional 6668 cases. Cases were identified for inclusion in this report by a query of the ToxIC database for any case entered from January 1 to December 31, 2020. Detailed data was collected from these cases and aggregated to provide information which included demographics, reason for medical toxicology evaluation, agent and agent class, clinical signs and symptoms, treatments and antidotes administered, mortality, and whether life support was withdrawn. Gender distribution included 50.6% cases in females, 48.4% in males, and 1.0% identifying as transgender. Non-opioid analgesics were the most commonly reported agent class, followed by opioid and antidepressant classes. Acetaminophen was once again the most common agent reported. There were 80 fatalities, comprising 1.2% of all registry cases. Major trends in demographics and exposure characteristics remained similar to past years' reports. Sub-analyses were conducted to describe race and ethnicity demographics and exposures in the registry, telemedicine encounters, and cases related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
毒理学调查人员联合会(ToxIC)注册中心于 2010 年由美国医学毒理学学院成立。该注册中心从参与机构收集数据,协议规定所有床边和远程医疗医学毒理学咨询都将被录入。这份第十一份年度报告总结了该注册中心 2020 年的数据和活动,以及另外 6668 例病例。通过对 ToxIC 数据库进行查询,确定了本报告中包含的所有病例,查询条件为 2020 年 1 月 1 日至 12 月 31 日期间录入的任何病例。从这些病例中收集了详细数据并进行了汇总,以提供包括人口统计学、医学毒理学评估原因、药物和药物类别、临床体征和症状、治疗和解毒剂的使用、死亡率以及是否撤回生命支持等信息。性别分布方面,女性占 50.6%,男性占 48.4%,1.0%为跨性别者。非阿片类镇痛药是报告最多的药物类别,其次是阿片类药物和抗抑郁药类。对乙酰氨基酚再次成为报告最多的药物。共有 80 例死亡,占总病例数的 1.2%。人口统计学和暴露特征的主要趋势与过去几年的报告相似。进行了亚分析,以描述该注册中心、远程医疗会诊以及与 COVID-19 大流行相关的病例中的种族和民族人口统计学和暴露情况。
