UNASSIGNED: This was a retrospective chart review to evaluate various risk factors associated with in-hospital mortality and intubation risk in acute @entity284 @entity1445 . All @entity1 admitted to an academic hospital in Tehran, Iran, during a 10-year period (2000-2009) constituted the study sample. Exclusion criteria were significant comorbidities and age under 18 years. Outcome variables were in-hospital mortality and being intubated during admission. A total of 802 @entity1 were enrolled in the study. There were 15 (1.8%) deaths due to @entity284 @entity1445 or its complications. The number of yearly admissions was 15 @entity1 in 2000, 16 in 2001, 16 in 2002, 18 in 2003, 23 in 2004, 38 in 2005, 59 in 2006, 110 in 2007, 206 in 2008 and 301 in 2009. Based on logistic regression analysis, the most important independent variable predicting mortality was length of admission in toxicology ward [OR (95% CI): 1.6 (1.1-2.3)]. For the prediction of intubation, independent variables were Glasgow @entity772 Scale (GCS) score of 5-9 [OR (95% CI): 356.5 (9.8-12907.4)] in the @entity341 ( @entity341 ), miosis in the @entity341 [356.9 (1.4-87872.5)] and respiratory rate in the @entity341 [1.5 (1.1-2.1)]. Linear regression model for length of hospitalization showed @entity1 age as the most important variable for prediction of this outcome. Despite a relatively low mortality rate, the increasing number of @entity284 -poisoned @entity1 requires special attention to this common intoxication. Careful disposition of @entity1 from @entity341 to ordinary wards or intensive care units and also from higher to lower levels of care should be considered in @entity284 @entity1445 .
