The intentional poisoning hospitalisation rate differed by gender and age group. Women aged \u226419\u2005years and 20\u201364\u2005years showed a higher hospitalisation rate than men, while men aged \u226565\u2005years showed a higher hospitalisation rate than women in the same age group. The most common poisoning substance was pesticides (33.6%), while antiepileptic, sedative-hypnotic and antiparkinsonism drugs and psychotropic drugs, not elsewhere classified were also very common. Poisoning in those aged \u22649\u2005years usually involved other drugs, while pesticides were the most common substances in those aged 20\u201364\u2005years and \u226565\u2005years.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This study analysed poisoning incidents in Korea from 2005 to 2009, by age and gender, causative substance, and characteristics.
