          Abstract

          Resumen: Introducción: la depresión es una de las principales causas mundiales de discapacidad. Datos nacionales mostraron que 10,6% de la población consumió en alguna oportunidad algún antidepresivo. La importancia de la exposición de este grupo terapéutico en la sociedad se puede ver reflejada, entre otros aspectos, en la frecuencia en que se encuentran implicados en intoxicaciones. Objetivo: el objetivo de este estudio fue describir el perfil epidemiológico de las intoxicaciones por antidepresivos recibidas por el Centro de Información y Asesoramiento Toxicológico (CIAT) entre los años 2010 y 2012. Metodología: estudio observacional retrospectivo en el cual se analizaron las consultas de intoxicaciones que involucraron un antidepresivo, registradas en el CIAT entre 2010-2012. Resultados: se recibieron 32.565 consultas toxicológicas en el período analizado. Los antidepresivos fueron implicados como agente tóxico causal en 2.523 (7,7%). La mayoría de las intoxicaciones ocurrieron en pacientes de sexo femenino (75,4%), adultos (79,3%) y fueron de causa intencional (90%). El antidepresivo más frecuentemente implicado fue sertralina (38%). La totalidad de las intoxicaciones severas (54; 2,1%) implicaron más de un fármaco. Se registró un solo caso fatal. Conclusiones: el perfil de intoxicaciones por antidepresivos en Uruguay entre 2010 y 2012 es similar al reportado en series internacionales y apoya el ya conocido riesgo de los antidepresivos de segunda generación. Si bien en número escaso, se destaca la exposición a estos medicamentos en menores de 18 años, sobre todo menores de 5 años, lo que requiere mayor caracterización.

          Resumo: Introdução: a depressão é uma das principais causas mundiais de deficiências. Dados nacionais mostraram que 10,6% da população consumiu em algum momento um antidepressivo. A importância da exposição deste grupo terapêutico na sociedade pode ser vista, entre outros aspectos, na frequência em que se encontram implicados em intoxicações. Objetivo: o objetivo deste estudo foi descrever o perfil epidemiológico das intoxicações por antidepressivos recebidas no Centro de Información y Asesoramiento Toxicológico (CIAT) entre 2010 e 2012. Metodologia: estudo observacional retrospectivo no qual foram analisadas as consultas por intoxicações registradas no CIAT entre 2010-2012 que estavam relacionadas a um antidepressivo, Resultados: no período analisado foram recebidas 32565 consultas toxicológicas. Os antidepressivos foram identificados como agente tóxico causal em 2523 (7,7%). As maiorias das intoxicações foram em pacientes de sexo feminino (75,4%), adultos (79,3%) e tiveram causa intencional (90%). O antidepressivo mais frequentemente implicado foi a sertralina (38%). Todas as intoxicações severas (54; 2,1%) foram devidas a mais de um fármaco. Somente um caso registrado foi fatal. Conclusões: o perfil das intoxicações por antidepressivos no Uruguai entre 2010 e 2012 é similar ao descrito em series internacionais e reforça o risco conhecido dos antidepressivos de segunda geração. Embora o número seja escasso, destaca-se a exposição de menores de 18 anos, sobre todo menores de 5 anos a estes medicamentos o que implica na necessidade de uma melhor caracterização.

          Abstract: Introduction: Depression is one of the main global causes of disability. National data showed that 10.6% of the population once consumed some kind of antidepressant. It is important to focus on this therapeutic group since, among other aspects, they are frequently involved in cases of poisoning. Objective: The study aims to describe the epidemiological profile of poisoning with antidepressants of individuals who consulted at the Poison Information and Advice Center (Centro Información y Asesoramiento Toxicológico (CIAT) between 2010 and 2012. Methodology: Observational, retrospective study whereby consultations for poisoning involving antidepressants recorded in the CIAT between 2010 and 2012, were analysed. Results: 32565 poisoning consultations were received in the period under the study. Antidepressants were the causing poisoning agent in 2523 cases 7.7%. Most cases of poisoning occurred in female patients (75.4%), adults (79.3%), and were intentional in 90% of cases. The most frequently involved antidepressant was sertraline (38%). All cases of severe poisoning (54, accounting for 2.1%) involved more than one drug. Only one death was recorded. Conclusions: The profile of poisoning with antidepressants in Uruguay, between 2010 and 2012 is similar to that reported in international series and supports the already known risk of second generation antidepressants. Despite figures being low, we point out the exposure of the population younger than 18 years old, in particular younger than 5 years old, to these drugs, what calls for characterization.

          2012 Annual Report of the American Association of Poison Control Centers' National Poison Data System (NPDS): 30th Annual Report.

          This is the 30(th) Annual Report of the American Association of Poison Control Centers' (AAPCC) National Poison Data System (NPDS). As of July 1, 2012, 57 of the nation's poison centers (PCs) uploaded case data automatically to NPDS. The upload interval was 7.58 [6.30, 11.22] (median [25%, 75%]) min, creating a near real-time national exposure and information database and surveillance system. We analyzed the case data tabulating specific indices from NPDS. The methodology was similar to that of previous years. Where changes were introduced, the differences are identified. Poison center cases with medical outcomes of death were evaluated by a team of 34 medical and clinical toxicologist reviewers using an ordinal scale of 1-6 to assess the Relative Contribution to Fatality (RCF) of the exposure to the death. In 2012, 3,373,025 closed encounters were logged by NPDS: 2,275,141 human exposures, 66,440 animal exposures, 1,025,547 information calls, 5,679 human confirmed nonexposures, and 218 animal confirmed nonexposures. Total encounters showed a 6.9% decline from 2011, while healthcare facility (HCF) exposure calls increased by 1.2%. All information calls decreased by 14.8% and HCF information calls decreased by 1.7%, medication identification requests (Drug ID) decreased by 22.0%, and human exposures reported to US PCs decreased by 2.5%. Human exposures with less serious outcomes have decreased by 3.7% per year since 2008, while those with more serious outcomes (moderate, major, or death) have increased by 4.6% per year since 2000. The top five substance classes most frequently involved in all human exposures were analgesics (11.6%), cosmetics/personal care products (7.9%), household cleaning substances (7.2%), sedatives/hypnotics/antipsychotics (6.1%), and foreign bodies/toys/miscellaneous (4.1%). Analgesic exposures as a class increased the most rapidly (8,780 calls/year) over the last 12 years. The top five most common exposures in children aged 5 years or less were cosmetics/ personal care products (13.9%), analgesics (9.9%), household cleaning substances (9.7%), foreign bodies/toys/ miscellaneous (7.0%), and topical preparations (6.3%). Drug identification requests comprised 54.4% of all information calls. NPDS documented 2,937 human exposures resulting in death with 2,576 human fatalities judged related (RCF of 1-Undoubtedly responsible, 2-Probably responsible, or 3-Contributory). These data support the continued value of PC expertise and need for specialized medical toxicology information to manage the more severe exposures, despite a decrease in calls involving less severe exposures. Unintentional and intentional exposures continue to be a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the US. The near real-time, always current status of NPDS represents a national public health resource to collect and monitor US exposure cases and information calls. The continuing mission of NPDS is to provide a nationwide infrastructure for public health surveillance for all types of exposures, public health event identification, resilience response, and situational awareness tracking. NPDS is a model system for the nation and global public health.
