“…Mortality from poisoning varies generally depending on the substance taken but is prevalent among those with intentional poisoning (suicide). For example, 0.74% case fatality among children with paraffin poisoning to about 20% among adults with Acute Organophosphate poisoning (AOPP) (30,31). However, it should be noted that morbidity and costs on hospital resources are often overlooked while tackling poisoning.…”

Acute poisonings, including envenomation as well as toxicological emergencies stemming from accidental or intentional ingestion of poisonous substances or drug overdose, are significant worldwide causes of morbidity and mortality. The study aimed to characterise acute poisoning emergencies admitted to two major hospitals in Northern Uganda. We conducted a retrospective review of charts of all patients admitted with acute poisoning emergencies between January and December 2021, as well as a structured interview of hospital staff working in these hospitals on challenges faced while managing these emergencies. Of the total 40,653 patient admissions, 416 (1%) were due to acute poisonings. The majority were admitted to SMHL (71.4%), 43.3% were between 20 and 40 years of age, and 59.9% were males. The average length of hospital stay was 1 (0-3). The most frequent diagnoses were acute alcohol intoxications (27.2%, n=113), snake bites (26.0%, n=108), and organophosphate poisonings (21.2%, n=88). Only 29.6% (n=123) of patients received antidotes. Peak admissions were observed in February, May, and July. The majority of poisonings were intentional (61.3%), resulting in a Case Fatality Rate of 6.3%. In the qualitative findings, participants highlighted key challenges in managing these conditions, including the lack of antidotes, patients presenting late at the hospital, economic barriers, staff shortages, and limited community awareness. Acute poisoning, especially acute alcoholic intoxication, snake bites and organophosphate poisoning, are common in northern Uganda, with significant numbers dying from it. The lack of antidotes remains a problem in these hospitals. Restriction of alcohol consumption use of agricultural organophosphates, and training of healthcare workers in managing these emergencies are recommended
