Indoing so, more insight can be provided on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of poisonings. Materials and Methods: The retrospective evaluation of 655 patients between ages 1 month-18 years who were admitted to thePediatric Emergency Department of Turgut Ozal Medical Center between January 2009 and June 2016 with cases of drug poisoning(mean 44±18 months). Results: Four hundred and nine female (62.4%) and 246 male patients (37.6%) were evaluated for a total of 655 cases. Drug poisoningcases were found to account for 1.08% of all visits to the emergency department. It was discovered that 62.1% of the poisonings wereaccidental, whereas 33% were suicide attempts and 4.9% therapeutic mistakes. 94.8% of drug poisonings occurred at households,while 5.2% occurred in non-household environments. Drug poisonings presented differences in terms of gender (62.4% female,37.6% male). The number of drug poisoning cases were found to be higher in the months of summer and spring. The number offemale cases peaked in the 13-18 age group (211 cases) and were higher than the same age group of males (30 cases).
