Seven- and thirty-day mortality in digoxin poisoning: Results from the DIGITOX study.

Background: Digoxin poisonings are relatively common and potentially fatal, requiring immediate therapeutic intervention, with special attention to the patient's hemodynamic status and the presence of electrocardiographic and electrolytic disturbances.

Objective: To identify factors associated with seven-day and thirty-day mortality in digoxin poisoning.

Design, Settings And Participants: A retrospective, observational, multicenter study was conducted across 15 Hospital Emergency Departments (HED) in Spain.

Characteristics of digoxin toxicity attended in Spanish emergency departments according to type of poisoning and administration of digoxin antibodies: the DIGITOX study.

Objectives: Digoxin toxicity accounts for a small percentage of poisonings attended by emergency departments. This study aimed to describe differences between acute and chronic digoxin toxicity and assess the use of digoxin-specific antibody fragments (digoxin-Fab) as an antidote.

Material And Methods: Retrospective, observational, multicenter study in 15 hospital emergency departments in 8 Spanish autonomous communities in 7 years.

Patients with drug-abuse poisoning with and without HIV infection: differential characteristics.

Objectives: Persons with HIV infection who use illicit drugs have higher morbidity and mortality rates than nonusers with or without HIV infection. The objetive were to detect differences between acute poisoning from illicit drugs in patients with and without HIV infection who are attended in hospital emergency departments, and to identify independent factors associated with a worse prognosis, defined by hospital admission or death.

Material And Methods: Observational study in 2 hospitals between January 2017 and 31 December 2021.

Differences in clinical features of two immigrant populations with tuberculosis.

A study was performed to assess differences in the clinical presentation of tuberculosis between two groups of immigrants. Ninety-four patients seen in the emergency room for newly diagnosed tuberculosis between 2006 and 2012 were included. Forty-nine patients were from Asian countries and 45 from Latin America.

[Clinical autopsy: a useful tool in the emergency department of teaching hospitals].

Background And Objective: We aimed to know the usefulness of clinical autopsy at the medical room of an emergency department in a teaching hospital.

Patients And Method: Retrospective study of clinical autopsies performed in the emergency department of a teaching hospital between 1995 and 2000. We explored the correlation between clinical emergency and autopsy diagnosis.
