Carbon monoxide poisoning: beyond survival - mortality, morbidities, and risk factors, a Turkey sample.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We aimed to investigate the effect of poisoning on mortality leading to new morbidities in people who survived the poisoning.

Methods

The descriptive-retrospective study evaluated all carbon monoxide poisoning cases between 2012 and 2022 in the Adiyaman. For the fatality, all cases were followed up through Turkey's death notification system until the end of 2022. One-year health records of cases treated as inpatients in Adiyaman hospitals were analyzed for nine diagnoses. A total of 4,395 carbon monoxide cases, recorded over 11 years, were all noted to be accidental cases.

Results

The rate of carbon monoxide poisoning in Adıyaman was calculated as 63.2 per hundred thousand. A total of 87 (2%) of the cases died. The population's hospitalization rate was 1.71
