“…Regarding the prevalence of alcohol intoxication, a research indicates that alcohol abuse causes significant morbidity and mortality and cause major economic damage worldwide and alcohol dependence assumes a high prevalence when compared to many other illnesses, representing one of the major public health problems nowadays (11)(12) . Corroborating these data, a intoxication control center in Spain also found the use of alcohol in 70.4% of all intoxications.…”

Objective: to characterize the profile of users intoxicated by drugs of abuse reported to a center of information and toxicological assistance and related this to the occurrence of deaths. Methods: study of case series reported in the 2010-2011 biennium after active case finding. Data were obtained from epidemiological records filed in the center and submitted to univariate analysis, with chi-squared test and Fischer test. Results: three hundred and thirty nine cases were found, most were men (87.3%), with basic education (61.0%) and elderly (37.2%). Alcohol use (83.8%) and chronic intoxications (89.9%) were predominant. Clinical complications were present in most medical diagnoses (63.4%). However, mortality was higher in the event deferral by cold and fire weapons. Conclusion: the consumption of drugs of abuse influences morbidity and mortality, particularly in men aged at 60 years or above and with low level of education.

“…As indicated in the bibliography, adults are often confronted with voluntary intoxications for socio-economic reasons [14,15,16].Suicide in adolescents affects the collective consciousness by its tragic and socially "inacceptable", aspect, although it is less common than in adults and the elderly [2]. According to our results, adolescents represent a minority, which corresponds with the bibliography [17,18].…”

“…Estos estudios son probablemente dispares en cuanto a instrumentos y méto-dos de recogida de datos y carecen de representatividad estatal, pero pueden ayudar a hacerse una idea del peso y las característi-cas de las IEA. Se estima que entre 1998 y 2010 en los servicios hospitalarios españo-les de urgencias las IEA supusieron aproximadamente un 0,5-1,1% del conjunto de urgencias atendidas, el 25-49% del total de intoxicaciones por cualquier sustancia y el 45-65% del total de intoxicaciones por drogas de abuso [79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88][89][90][91][92][93][94] . El peso del problema en las urgencias extrahospitalarias era seguramente incluso mayor 84 .…”
