Elderly patients visiting the emergency department for deliberate self-poisoning: do they present a more severe poisoning severity score than the nonelderly patients in the initial 24 h?

Purpose Many elderly patients arrive at the emergency department (ED) complaining of deliberate self-poisoning (DSP). This study determined the poisoning severity of elderly patients who committed DSP. Methods A study was performed with 1329 patients (> 15 years of age) who were treated for DSP a...

description Purpose Many elderly patients arrive at the emergency department (ED) complaining of deliberate self-poisoning (DSP). This study determined the poisoning severity of elderly patients who committed DSP. Methods A study was performed with 1329 patients (> 15 years of age) who were treated for DSP at two EDs between January 2010 and December 2016. We classified these patients into two groups based on age (an elderly group ≥ 65 years of age and a nonelderly group). Information was collected on age, sex, cause, ingestion time, drug type, suicide attempt history, initial poisoning severity score (PSS), final PSS, outcome, etc. Results In total, 242 (18.2%) patients were included in the elderly group, of whom 211 (86.9%) were treated for a first suicide attempt. Admission to the intensive-care unit (ICU) (43.8% vs. 25.5%) and endotracheal intubation (16.1% vs. 4.9%) occurred more frequently in the elderly group than in the nonelderly group ( p

In addition, the presence of underlying diseases (coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular disease) yielded high ORs [(OR of 13.13, 95% CI 2.80–61.57, p  = 0.001), (OR of 7.34, 95% CI 1.38–39.09, p  = 0.020)].
