    Child poisoning cases decreased due to safety packaging, but non-salicylate medication poisonings and therapeutic mishaps, especially in infants, rose. This highlights ongoing safety concerns in pediatric medicine.

    Area of Science:

    • Toxicology
    • Pediatric Medicine
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Poisoning trends in children have evolved over time.
    • The impact of safety packaging on household product poisonings is a key area of interest.
    • Therapeutic mishaps represent a significant portion of pediatric medication poisonings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze trends in treated poisonings over a decade.
    • To assess the impact of safety packaging on poisoning incidents.
    • To investigate the incidence and nature of therapeutic mishaps in pediatric poisoning cases.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of poisoning case data from multiple regional poison control centers.
    • Data collected from 1970 to 1980, involving 273 treated poisonings.

  • Sub-analysis of salicylism cases using additional data from two centers.

    • Main Results:

    • Salicylism cases decreased significantly from 19% in 1970 to 11% in 1980.
    • Poisonings by household products dropped from 36-42% to 21% after the introduction of safety packaging.
    • Non-salicylate medication poisonings increased from 45% to 68% of treated ingestions.
    • Therapeutic mishaps were constant at 20-27% for all medication poisonings, but higher (59%) in infants under one year.
    • Therapeutic mishaps and household product ingestions led to longer hospitalizations.

    Conclusions:

    • Safety packaging has effectively reduced poisonings from household products.
    • There is a concerning rise in non-salicylate medication poisonings and therapeutic mishaps, particularly in young children.
    • Further investigation into the causes and prevention of therapeutic mishaps in pediatric populations is warranted.
