abstract="OBJECTIVE: To analyze the characteristics of drug poisoning. METHODS: 25 hospitals with emergency rooms were selected and design questionnaires were administered to drug poisoning patients seeking emergency treatment within a one-year period. RESULTS: 2,612 cases of drug poisoning patients were collected accounting for 0.31% of the aggregated number of emergency patients at the same time, as well as 23.42% of poisoning patients at the same time. The sexual proportion between males and females was 1:3.45, average age was 30.33 years, and the age groups between 15-34 years were the high potentials. The three top ranking industries were farmers, unemployed ones and services. Amongst the samples, 99.12% of them were exposed by mouth transmission. 84.57% were suicides. The medicines most frequently adopted were 1. antianxiety drugs; 2. analgesics antipyretic and antirheumatic drugs; 3. antipsychotropic drugs. Only 1.68% of the drug poisoning patients were diagnosed through blood-medicine. CONCLUSION: It is recommended to enhance the administration and education of medicines. Further, we need to establish a monitoring system for drug intoxication and improve the quality of diagnosis and treatment of drug poisoning patients.",
