The demographic and clinical data about the patients were extracted from the patients\u2019 files and were then analyzed.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n The number of deaths due to poisoning in the study period was 264, and the mean age of the deceased was 42.33 \u00b1 20.097. One hundred and ninety-three (73.1%) patients were male. The frequency of deaths in the poisoning ward was 0.84%. The causes of death were accidental overdose (73, 26.9%), suicide (155, 63.2%), accidental use (18, 7.3%), and homicide in one patient. The mean age, time between exposure of toxin until death and history of addiction, substance use, and suicide in men patients was significantly higher than women (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.05), however, such significant results were observed in married when compared with single patients. The differences between the two genders based on the type of toxic substance were statistically significant (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.001). The most common causes of death were pesticides poisoning (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 121), especially paraquat (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 48) and Aluminum phosphide (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 45), and multidrug poisoning (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 48).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n In this study, we showed that the death rate due to poisoning in our center was lower than other centers. The highest number of poisoning was in men as well as married patients. It is also recommended that more serious educational and preventive strategies should be used in this regard.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/abr.abr_61_21","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,26]],"date-time":"2022-09-26T06:23:33Z","timestamp":1664173413000},"page":"82","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Intoxication-Related Deaths in a Poisoning Center in Isfahan"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Gholamali","family":"Dorooshi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rokhsareh","family":"Meamar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kamran","family":"Kalantar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zahra","family":"Amini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-82-20240830","first-page":"1343","article-title":"Demographic, clinical, and forensics findings in deceased cases of acute methadone poisoning","volume":"35","author":"Alikhani","year":"2017","journal-title":"J Isfahan Med Sch"},{"key":"R2-82-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"93","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jad.2017.05.002","article-title":"The global burden of fatal self-poisoning with pesticides 2006-15: Systematic review","volume":"219","author":"Mew","year":"2017","journal-title":"J Affect Disord"},{"key":"R3-82-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"164","DOI":"10.5694\/mja16.00484","article-title":"Self-poisoning by older Australians: A cohort study","volume":"206","author":"Pillans","year":"2017","journal-title":"Med J Aust"},{"key":"R4-82-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"30","DOI":"10.1186\/s12873-018-0181-6","article-title":"Epidemiological and clinical profiles of acute poisoning in patients admitted to the intensive care unit in eastern Iran (2010 to 2017)","volume":"18","author":"Mehrpour","year":"2018","journal-title":"BMC Emerg Med"},{"key":"R5-82-20240830","first-page":"365","article-title":"Retrospective analysis of poisoning cases admitted in a tertiary care hospital","volume":"10","author":"Jailkhani","year":"2014","journal-title":"IJRTSAT"},{"key":"R6-82-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"100","DOI":"10.5812\/jjnpp.3504","article-title":"The pattern of poisoning in southwestern region of Iran: Envenoming as the major cause","volume":"7","author":"Jalali","year":"2012","journal-title":"Jundishapur J Nat Pharm Prod"},{"key":"R7-82-20240830","first-page":"91","article-title":"Profle of poisoning cases in a tertiary care hospital, Tamil Nadu, India","volume":"3","author":"Moharani","year":"2013","journal-title":"JAPS"},{"key":"R8-82-20240830","first-page":"327","article-title":"A narrative review of acute adult poisoning in Iran","volume":"42","author":"Alinejad","year":"2017","journal-title":"Iran J Med Sci"},{"key":"R9-82-20240830","first-page":"4","article-title":"Clinico-epidemiological study of poisoning in a teriary care hospital in Bangladesh","volume":"3","author":"Rabiul","year":"2017","journal-title":"J Emerg Pract Trauma"},{"key":"R10-82-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"78","DOI":"10.1016\/j.puhe.2019.02.025","article-title":"Trend of fatal poisoning at national and provincial levels in Iran from 1990 to 2015","volume":"170","author":"Ghodsi","year":"2019","journal-title":"Public Health"},{"key":"R11-82-20240830","first-page":"21","article-title":"An Epidemiologic study of pediatric poisoning;
