[La...] Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 "The goal of this study was to identify all cases of intentional medication overdose (MO) that occurred over two years at a large public hospital in Santiago, Chile, and examine its epidemiologic profile." CONCLUSION: "Similar to other developed and developing nations, intentional MO accounts for a significant number of ED presentations in Chile. Chile is unique in the region, however, in that its spectrum of intentional overdoses includes an excess burden of tricyclic antidepressant and benzodiazepine overdoses, a relatively low rate of alcohol and recreational drug co-ingestion, and a relatively low rate of acetaminophen ingestion." http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26823936 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
