Abstract

Background: With the onset of the first wave of COVID-19 in Iran, along with the preventive quarantines, children who had to stay at home were in contact with drugs, alcohol, and disinfectants. This study compares the prevalence rates of poisoning for children and adolescents hospitalized during the first wave of COVID-19 to the previous year (pre-COVID-19 period in 2019). Methods: This analytic, cross-sectional study was conducted based on the administrative data obtained from the referral teaching hospital in Yazd and Taft cities, Iran. This study was conducted on children under the age of 15 years who were admitted to the hospital because of poisoning. The study was conducted from February 19, 2020, to February 18, 2021 (12 months during the COVID-19 pandemic) compared to 2019 as the reference period (pre-COVID-19). The data were analyzed by the SPSS software, version 20. Results: Multivariate regression analysis showed that by adjusting the effects of age and sex, the chance of alcohol poisoning (odd ratio [OR]=0.3, P=0.03), poisoning with oil and its derivatives (OR=0.33, P=0.05), and drugs-opioids poisoning in the period before the outbreak of COVID-19 was lower than during the outbreak of COVID-19. Additionally, the chance of poisoning with medications in the period before the outbreak of COVID-19 was 67% higher than during the outbreak of COVID-19 (OR=1.67, P=0.01). Conclusion: The results indicated a significant increase in poisoning with alcohol, drugs-opioids, oil, and its derivatives in children and adolescents in Yazd City, Iran, during the 12 months of the COVID-19 pandemic.
COVID-19大流行期间的中毒:对伊朗亚兹德和塔夫脱市转诊教学医院收治的儿童和青少年的关注
背景:随着第一波2019冠状病毒病在伊朗爆发,以及预防性隔离措施的实施,不得不呆在家里的儿童与药物、酒精和消毒剂接触。本研究比较了第一波COVID-19期间住院儿童和青少年的中毒患病率与前一年(2019年COVID-19前期)。方法:对伊朗亚兹德市和塔夫脱市转诊教学医院的行政管理资料进行分析、横断面研究。这项研究是针对15岁以下因中毒入院的儿童进行的。该研究于2020年2月19日至2021年2月18日(COVID-19大流行期间的12个月)进行,与2019年作为参考期(COVID-19之前)进行比较。数据采用SPSS 20版软件进行分析。结果:多因素回归分析显示,通过调整年龄和性别的影响,疫情前发生酒精中毒(奇比[OR]=0.3, P=0.03)、油及其衍生物中毒(OR=0.33, P=0.05)、阿片类药物中毒的几率均低于疫情期间。疫情前用药中毒发生率比疫情期间高67% (OR=1.67, P=0.01)。结论:结果表明,在2019冠状病毒病大流行的12个月期间,伊朗亚兹德市儿童和青少年中酒精、类阿片药物、石油及其衍生物中毒的发生率显著增加。
