Childhood poisoning patterns vary by age and gender, with unintentional poisonings common in young males due to accessible products. Adolescent poisonings are often intentional and occur in females.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Toxicology
  • Public Health
  • Child Safety

Background:

  • Childhood poisoning remains a significant pediatric challenge.
  • Often linked to inadequate parental supervision and accessible hazardous products.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze acute poisoning patterns in children across different age groups.
  • To identify age-related trends in pediatric poisoning incidents.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of pediatric patients hospitalized for acute poisoning.
  • Data collected over a 5-year period (1994-1998) at Soroka Medical Center.
  • Focus on age-specific poisoning characteristics.

Main Results:

  • 1,143 children admitted for poisoning between 1994-1998.

  • Peak poisoning incidence in children aged 2-5 and adolescents aged 14-18.
  • Unintentional poisonings more frequent in males under 14; intentional poisonings prevalent in females aged 14-18.
  • Drugs were the most common agent across multiple age groups; cleaning products also significant in younger children.
  • Poisoning times varied by age, with peak incidents in the late afternoon/early evening for younger children and extending into the night for adolescents.
  • Medicinal errors and accessible home products were common causes in children aged 2-13.

    • Conclusions:

    • Distinct patterns of pediatric poisoning exist based on age and gender.
    • Accessible home products and supervision lapses contribute to unintentional poisonings, particularly in males.
    • Adolescent poisonings are predominantly intentional and affect females.
    • Preventative strategies should include parental education and enhanced supervision, especially during high-risk hours.
