The objective of this study was to investigate the characteristics and trends of therapeutic errors in non-healthcare facility settings associated with antithrombotic medications reported to United States Poison Centers by analyzing data from the National Poison Data System from 2000 to 2021. There were 57 288 reported therapeutic error-related exposures involving antithrombotic medications as the primary substance. The rate of therapeutic errors increased by 590.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFIntroduction: Tianeptine is an atypical tricyclic antidepressant not approved for medical use in the US but is found in dietary supplements. This study investigates single-substance tianeptine exposures reported to US poison centers.
Methods: We analyzed cases involving tianeptine reported to the National Poison Data System from 2015 to 2023.
Background: To investigate the characteristics and trends of therapeutic errors that occur outside of healthcare facilities involving diabetes medications reported to US poison centers.
Methods: National Poison Data System data from 2000 to 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.
Results: There were 157,623 exposure cases of non-healthcare facility-related therapeutic errors associated with diabetes medications as the primary substance reported to US poison centers from 2000 to 2021.
Introduction: This study investigated exposures involving ∆8-tetrahydrocannabinol (∆8-THC) reported to US poison centers (PCs), including variation among states and regions. It evaluated whether the ∆8-THC exposure rate was lower among states with ∆8-THC regulations and states where cannabis (∆9-THC) use was legal.
Methods: National Poison Data System data for ∆8-THC exposures in 2021-2022 were analyzed, including comparisons of state and regional population-based exposure rates.
Introduction: Since the passage of the Farm Bill in 2018, the availability of synthetic tetrahydrocannabinols has increased, including delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol, delta-10 tetrahydrocannabinol, and tetrahydrocannabinol-O acetate. The objective of this study is to investigate the characteristics of delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol, delta-10 tetrahydrocannabinol, and tetrahydrocannabinol-O acetate exposures reported to United States poison centers from 2021 to 2022.
Methods: National Poison Data System data were analyzed, including year, individual demographics, substance category and type, reason for exposure, highest level of health care received, and medical outcome.
Article Synopsis
- This study examines the rise and fall of reported loperamide poisoning cases in the U.S. between 2010 and 2022, noting a strong link to serious cardiac effects, with a significant focus on intentional misuse and abuse.
- While almost half of the reported cases involved minor effects, serious outcomes were present in 13.4% of cases, resulting in deaths primarily due to loperamide abuse.
- Following FDA interventions starting in 2016, trends showed decreases in both the overall rate of cases and serious medical outcomes associated with loperamide by 2022.
Objectives: To investigate the characteristics and trends of out-of-hospital attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medication-related therapeutic errors among youth <20 years old reported to US poison centers.
Methods: National Poison Data System data from 2000 through 2021 were analyzed. Population-based rates were calculated using US census data.
Background: Firearm injuries are the leading cause of mortality among children and adolescents 1-19 years old in the USA. Many prior studies on this topic lack detailed information about the circumstances of the firearm fatalities and include decedents and shooters of all ages. This study characterizes firearm fatalities in the USA in which children < 15 years old unintentionally killed themselves or another child.

Methods: Using data from the National Poison Data System for 2000-2020, population-based annual exposure rates by sex, antidepressant category, serious medical outcome, and health care facility admission were analyzed and odds ratios to assess associations of exposure type and antidepressant category with medical outcome and admission were calculated.
Results: There were 215 909 first-ranked unintentional exploratory exposures involving antidepressants among children <6 years old during the study period, averaging 10 281 annually.
To investigate characteristics of cocaine exposures reported to US Poison Control Centers. Data from the National Poison Data System regarding cocaine-related calls to regional poison control centers from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2020 were analyzed. There were 59,466 first-ranked cocaine-related calls managed by poison control centers during the study period.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of cosmetics and personal care products-related ocular exposures from 2000 through 2018 was conducted using data from the National Poison Data System.
Results: From January 2000 through December 2018, United States Poison Control Centers received 266,743 calls concerning eye exposures to cosmetics and personal care products, corresponding to a mean of 14,039 calls per year.
Background: Furniture and television tip-over injuries are an important source of injury to children, especially those younger than 6 years old. A current epidemiologic evaluation of tip-over injuries is needed, especially considering changes in the voluntary safety standard for clothing storage units (CSUs) and the shift in the consumer market from cathode ray tube to flat-screen televisions (TVs), and a decline in household TV ownership during recent years. The objective of this study is to update our understanding of the epidemiologic characteristics and trends of furniture (especially CSU) and TV tip-over injuries treated in United States emergency departments among children < 18 years old.

Benzodiazepines, often used to treat anxiety, insomnia, and other conditions, are prescribed more frequently to women than men, and emergency department visits and overdose deaths involving benzodiazepines have increased significantly among women in recent years. This study describes characteristics and trends associated with benzodiazepine exposures among women of reproductive age (15-49 years old) that were reported to United States poison control centers from 2004 through 2018. The National Poison Data System recorded 258,370 first-ranked benzodiazepine exposures among women 15-49 years old during the study period.
