Abstract:

Many studies analyze the epidemiological profile of deaths caused by a single toxic agent. However, broader mortality analyzes can be obtained by evaluating multiple agents over the same period of time. For this purpose, was carried out a retrospective descriptive study of the intoxication deaths occurred in Brazil2010 to 2015, recorded by Information System of Mortality. Deaths were ed according to ICD-10 codes related to intoxication and poisoning. Deaths were ed according to ICD-10 codes related to intoxication. There were 18,247 deaths and an increase of 3% of intoxication mortality rates in the period. The agents that caused the most deaths were pesticides (24%) followed by medicine (23%) and street drugs (22%). With the exception of the medicines, the female participation was 52%, there was a higher concentration of males for all agents and in most of the age groups. Only for medicines and pesticides, suicide was the main circumstance of deaths. The results presented were able to delineate a mortality profile for each of the major toxic agents studied.
