Abstract:
Established in 2010, the American College of Medical Toxicology (ACMT) Toxicology Investigators Consortium (ToxIC) Core Registry has systematically captured data from in-hospital and clinic-based medical toxicology physician consultations across the United States (US) and internationally. The ToxIC Core Registry contains deidentified patient data, including patient demographics, reason for medical toxicology evaluation, exposure agents, clinical signs and symptoms, treatments and antidotes administered, and mortality outcomes. This fifteenth annual report provides data from 8,868 patients entered into the Core Registry in 2024, bringing the total number of cases to 111,276 between 2010 and 2024. These cases were submitted by 41 participating sites encompassing 67 distinct hospitals over 23 US states and 3 international countries. In 2024, ethanol was the most commonly reported exposure agent class (17.8%), followed by opioids (15.8%), non-opioid analgesics (10.5%), and sympathomimetic agents (7.6%). A total of 107 fatalities were reported, corresponding to a case fatality rate of 1.2%. Additional descriptive analyses in this annual report were conducted to describe trends for opioid and psychoactive exposures between 2010 and 2024.

Toxic Reactions: Overview
Toxicity falls into two primary categories: local and systemic.
Local toxicity appears at the exposure site, such as protein denaturation caused by caustic substances.
In contrast, systemic toxicity requires the toxic agent's absorption and distribution,...
