Background: Since poisoning cases cause serious mortality in childhood, the management of the sick child has a priority and special place in all countries. The age distribution of poisoning cases, the diversity of factors, as well as the type of poisoning predominant in which age groups, and accordingly, the frequency of suicide in poisoning cases in adolescence were investigated. Materials and Methods: In our study, patients who were followed up in the pediatric intensive care unit of our hospital for acute poisoning within three years between 2016-2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Of 468 poisoning cases hospitalized in the intensive care unit, 259 (55.3%) were female and 209 (44.7%) were male. There were 183 (39.1%) cases aged 1-3 years, and 14 (3.0%) cases at least 9-12 years old, all of which were accidental. In suicidal poisonings, 109 (96.4%) patients were >13 years old, 4 (3.5%) patients were 12 years old, and 83 (73.4%) of these 113 patients were girls and 30 (26.6%) ) were followed as male. It was observed that cases of suicidal poisoning were more common in female patients. When the drugs taken were classified into groups, it was observed that paracetamol, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and other antipyretics 115 (20.6%) were taken the most. No mortality was observed in the intensive care follow-ups. Conclusions: When the ages of the poisoning cases were examined, it was observed that the drugs and chemical substances that could cause poisoning were not stored in sufficiently safe environments, since the group under the age of 3 was the most common. The fact that poisonings due to suicide are more common in girls shows that girls are more affected by factors such as family, school and social events. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
