- Abstract
- Objective: South Korea still lacks systematic national poisoning data collection or a poison control center (PC).
The objectives of this study are to provide estimates of poisoning incidents in South Korea and to stress the necessity of a national poisoning surveillance framework managed by a national PC.
Method: The number of poisoning incidents was estimated based on the 2018 annual report of the American Association of Poison Control Centers’ National Poison Data System (NPDS). Our estimation of poisoning data was classified according to age group, reason for poison exposure, and case management site.
Results: Total poisoning cases estimated numbered 326,636, which is tantamount to 631 cases per 100 thousand.
Poisoning cases among those younger than five years old accounted for 71.7% in the United States. Fatal poisoning cases were estimated to be 210.63 (95% CI: 199.70-222.15). Non-intentional poisoning cases (250,378 cases, 95% CI: 249,992-250,764, 76.7%) were estimated to be far higher than intentional cases (62,399 cases, 95% CI: 62,207-62,593, 19.1%).
Conclusion: Our results can be used to suggest the necessity of producing national poisoning data and establishing a PC despite the uncertainty of estimation.
