COMPARATIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE STRUCTURES OF ACUTE DRUG POISONING IN THE ULYANOVSK REGION AND THE REPUBLIC OF MORDOVIA

Aim: At present, humanity is synthesized more than 80 mln of new chemicals and drugs on their basis. Constant contact with these substances is inevitable. More than 150 thousand of them are in constant circulation in production and daily life. The extensive use of them in the activities of modern man leads to an increased risk of acute exposure of chemicals (industrial, household and criminal poisoning) [1]. Attention is drawn to the rapid increase in the number of acute drug poisonings. This trend is due to the rapid growth of chemical production and pharmaceutical industries, poorly controlled sales and irrational use of medicines [2]. This situation is typical for such large regions of the Volga Federal District, as the Ulyanovsk region and the Republic of Mordovia. The aim is to compare the characteristic structures of acute drug poisoning, based on the statistics of Rospotrebnadzor in the Ulyanovsk region and in the republic of Mordovia; to identify common patterns and differences, for the planning of targeted detoxification and preventive measures. Materials and methods: Retrospective screening study, based on the statistical form 12-07 "Information on the results of toxicological monitoring" (in the revised version - 12-12) and emergency notifications about the cases of acute poisoning of chemical etiology, in the amount of 8975 - for the Ulyanovsk region, and 5164 for the Republic of Mordovia, was carried out. The design of the study was chosen - descriptive transverse (one-stage). The results of the study were processed using the IBM SPSS Statistics 20. To compare the values, Pearson's Chi-square test was used. Results and conclusion: These studies show, that the drug poisoning occupies the second place in the general structure of chemical etiology poisonings. This necessitates in-depth study of the problem of acute drug poisonings. Keywords: acute poisoning, drugs, chemicals, mortality.
