Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Toxicology
  • Database Management

Context:

  • Italian Poison Centers receive approximately 100,000 calls yearly.
  • Poisoning surveillance is crucial for public health, especially given terrorism and disease outbreak threats.
  • Current data collection among Italian Poison Centers is not harmonized due to database complexity.

Purpose:

  • To present a relational model for a poison center database.
  • To enable harmonized data collection from Italian Poison Centers.
  • To improve toxicovigilance and syndromic surveillance capabilities.

Summary:

  • The study details an entity-relationship model for a poison center database, addressing the complexity of data relationships (calls, patients, poisons).
  • This model facilitates the systematic, ongoing collection, analysis, and dissemination of harmonized poisoning data.
