Summary
A Minimum Data Set (MDS) for poisoning registry was developed in Iran. This standardized data collection is crucial for improving patient care and informing public health strategies for poisoning prevention.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Toxicology
- Health Informatics
Background:
- Poisoning is a significant cause of emergency admissions in developing countries.
- Effective poisoning registries require comprehensive data collection.
- A standardized Minimum Data Set (MDS) is essential for poisoning registries.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine a Minimum Data Set (MDS) for poisoning registry in Iran.
- To establish a standardized framework for collecting data on poisoned patients.
Main Methods:
- Applied, cross-sectional study utilizing the Delphi technique.
- Literature reviews of major scientific databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase).
- Inclusion of International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) coding guidelines for poisoning.
Main Results:
- Development of 558 data elements through two rounds of the Delphi technique.
- The MDS is categorized into 10 essential components.
- Categories include patient data, encounter details, medical history, exposure, clinical findings, treatment, complications, lab tests, biobank, and discharge information.
Conclusions:
- Establishing an MDS is a foundational step for implementing a robust poisoning registry.
- Standardized data collection enables effective planning, policy-making, and prevention of poisoning.
- Poisoning registry data supports public health initiatives for control and mitigation.

01:14Prevention of Further Absorption of Poison
1.1K
In cases of acute poisoning, the primary objective is to prevent further absorption of the toxic substance into the body. Immediate interventions using various decontamination techniques targeting the gastrointestinal (GI) tract can achieve this. Decontamination is crucial to prevent poison from entering the systemic circulation, which involves washing affected areas with water and mild soap and removing contaminated clothing. Once external decontamination is done, attention must be turned to...

Drug regulation encompasses the management of drug usage by evaluating its safety and efficacy through assessments conducted by regulatory authorities. Regrettably, the history of drug regulation is marred by several catastrophic events. One such incident is the Elixir Sulfanilamide tragedy, in which the toxic compound diethyl glycol was included in a sweet-tasting medication, leading to numerous fatalities. This event prompted the enactment of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act in 1938. Under...

01:23Dosage Regimen Designs: Nomograms and Tabulations
95
Nomograms and tabulations are vital tools used by clinicians to design accurate and individualized dosage regimens. These instruments provide a straightforward method for adjusting dosages based on individual patient characteristics, including age, weight, and physiological condition. The foundation of a drug's nomogram is population pharmacokinetic data collected and analyzed using specific models. This data simplifies complex equations, presenting them diagrammatically or tabularly for easy...

01:01Dosage Regimens: Partial Pharmacokinetic Parameters
76
It is not uncommon for complete drug pharmacokinetic profiles to remain elusive in pharmacokinetics. This necessitates certain educated assumptions by pharmacokineticists to determine appropriate dosage regimens without comprehensive pharmacokinetic data from animal or human studies. One prevalent assumption is setting the bioavailability factor, denoted as F, to 1 or 100%. This assumption caters to the scenario where a drug doesn't achieve full systemic absorption, resulting in the patient...

Post-marketing surveillance is a critical component of pharmaceutical regulation, often uncovering unanticipated adverse drug reactions (ADRs) once a drug is widely used over an extended period.
This process, termed pharmacovigilance, aims to detect, evaluate, and minimize harmful effects related to medication use. The data collection for pharmacovigilance depends on spontaneous reporting systems, where healthcare professionals or patients voluntarily report suspected ADRs.

Poison can be effectively removed from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract through various decontamination procedures.
Antidotes serve a crucial role in counteracting the effects of poison by inhibiting enzymes responsible for producing harmful drug metabolites. In some cases, these toxic metabolites can be neutralized by endogenous cosubstrates, which are maintained at specific concentrations to prevent interaction with cellular macromolecules and subsequent cell death.
Renal excretion is the...
