The aim of this study was to analyze the characteristics of patients presenting with acute drug intoxication. Over a 30-month period, all patients admitted for this reason were included. We identified 62 cases of acute drug intoxication. Multi-drug intoxication (OR = 4.3; CI95% [2.6 - 5.7]; p = 0.022), toxic dose attainment (OR = 1.7; CI95% [1.1 - 3.5]; p = 0.020), as well as paracetamol intoxication (OR = 1.6; CI95% [1.2 -3.5]; p = 0.030), other substances, such as oral antidiabetics (OR = 2.3; CI95% [1.1 - 2.8]; p = 0.001) and anxiolytics (OR = 1.2; CI95% [0.9 - 2.8]; p = 0.040), were associated with an increased risk of hospitalization.Prompt treatment, based on early diagnosis, is essential to preserve lives. The study of patterns of drug intoxication plays a key role in the development of effective prevention and management strategies.","brand":"Our Knowledge Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53703855145302,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9786208991685_1_8358eb1e-903d-45e4-958d-9e5b3d9c9641.jpg?v=1781759181","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/fatma-kaaniche-medhioub-managing-acute-drug-intoxication-in-the-emergency-department-9786208991685","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
