“…Overall, community settings such as schools can offer opportunities to disseminate information to students and families, utilizing school nurses [ 38 ] and counselors as valued available resources. In addition, given the International Programme on Chemical Safety’s (IPCS) recommendations for promoting and strengthening PCCs [ 39 ], using each regional PCC poisoning data and resources in partnership with nearby childcare and healthcare agencies could be an important approach for creating evidence-based prevention efforts.…”

“…Knowledgeable healthcare providers, such as registered nurses [ 40 ] and poison center professionals, would effectively add to the current prevention efforts. Specifically, programs for nurses working with PCCs provide parents an opportunity for individualized assessment of the home environment with highly trusted professionals in the nursing role [ 38 ]. These interprofessional collaborative efforts would be key to increasing the impact of prevention programs on poison exposures and ultimately fatalities among all children age groups.…”

Despite significant prevention efforts, childhood poison exposures remain a serious public health challenge in the United States. This study aimed to assess annual trends of pharmaceutical vs. non-pharmaceutical poison exposures in the US among children 0–19 years and compare the odds of death by children’s age group. Poison exposure and fatality data were retrospectively extracted from 2009 to 2019 National Poison Data System (NPDS) annual reports for children in all reported age groups. Overall, there was a significant reduction in the annual population-adjusted poison exposures in children (annual percentage change = −2.54%, 95% CI = −3.94% to −1.15%, p < 0.01), but not in poisoning-related fatalities. Children 0–5 had similar odds of dying from exposure to non-pharmaceuticals vs. pharmaceuticals. The odds of children 6–12 dying from non-pharmaceuticals vs. pharmaceuticals was 2.38 (95% CI = 1.58, 3.58), χ2 = 18.53, p < 0.001. In contrast, the odds of children 13–19 dying from pharmaceuticals vs. non-pharmaceuticals was 3.04 (95% CI = 2.51, 3.69), χ2 = 141.16, p < 0.001. Suicidal intent accounted for 40.63% of pharmaceutical deaths in children 6–12, as well as 48.66% of pharmaceutical and 31.15% of non-pharmaceutical deaths in children 13–19. While a significant decline in overall childhood poison exposures was reported, a decrease in poisoning-related fatalities was not observed. Children in different age groups had contrasting relative odds of death from pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical exposures. Among older children, a greater proportion of poisoning-related deaths was due to intentional suicide. These findings provide evidence of age-specific trends in childhood poison exposure risk and directions for future poison prevention efforts and behavioral health partnerships.

Aceptado el 18 de julio de 2017 Palabras clave:Intoxicaciones en pediatría detergentes tipo "pod" riesgos. R E S U M E NLas intoxicaciones son una causa frecuente de consulta a los servicios de urgencias. En Colombia, el Sistema Nacional de Vigilancia en Salud Pública (SIVIGILA) ha reportado su aumento. Hasta la semana epidemiológica 41 del año 2016, se habían reportado 27,117 casos de intoxicación, con una ocurrencia de 55.6 por cada 100.000 habitantes, en su mayoría por medicamentos.La población pediátrica está expuesta a diversos xenobióticos por sus actividades exploratorias, entre los cuales se cuentan los productos de limpieza. Los detergentes tipo "pod" (detergentes encapsulados) han ganado popularidad en nuestro país; uno de los riesgos que presenta esta clase de detergentes es su empaque, el cual guarda similitud con la apariencia de un dulce, lo cual lo hace atractivo a los niños, aumentando el riesgo de exposiciones accidentales.Tradicionalmente se ha considerado que los productos de limpieza tienen bajo potencial de letalidad, sin embargo, hay nueva evidencia que demuestra que las intoxicaciones por detergentes generan riesgos gastrointestinales, neurológicos, metabólicos, respiratorios y renales, por lo cual es importante cambiar el paradigma de que los detergentes no tienen una toxicidad importante.

Introduction: Household poisoning is a worldwide problem. It is s a major cause of morbidity and mortality in children which includes cleaning products, kerosene, pesticides, cosmetics and medicines. Methods: A quasiexperimental, quantitative, before and after study design was conducted among the mothers total (n= 60) in the community of Ali Raza Abad Raiwind Road Lahore, Pakistan from September 2018 to December 2018. The educational interventions involve four meetings about household poisoning in which the researcher educate the mothers about household poisoning in children. Results: A total of 60 mothers participated in the study. The total mean of mothers before the educational intervention is 13.10 (Standard deviation 2.673) and after the educational intervention is 26.18 (Standard deviation 2.175). The mean difference between the two means is 13.083. There is a statistically significant difference before and after the educational intervention. The educational intervention is highly effective because the significant value is 0.00. Conclusions:: The result of the study shows that educational intervention in mothers can effective to improve knowledge related to household poisoning in children.
