| Abstract Background: With an incidence rate of 200,000 cases annually and the induction of numerous complications, caustic ingestion imposes a significant burden on the healthcare system. Apart from being mortal in some cases, this injury affects its victims’ quality of life as it is followed by many gastrointestinal problems. This injury mainly occurs accidentally among children, whereas in adults, this injury often occurs with suicidal intentions. Despite the recent advances in internal medicine, gastroenterology, and toxicology, this type of injury remains a debilitating and, in some cases, mortal disorder for its victims. Compared to the prevalence and complications, there is still limited evidence in this regard. Materials and methods: This study retrospectively evaluated the clinical, laboratory, and endoscopic findings of 150 patients admitted to a referral center of toxicology and forensic medicine and assessed factors associated with each type of injury. Results: we calculated a mortality rate as high as 7.3% in this population. Age, pH, and previous medical conditions were associated with more complications. Besides, higher degrees of injury were significantly associated with higher mortality, no significant difference was inspected between the types of corrosive substances. Conclusion: It seems that the most effective intervention for controlling these types of injuries would be psychiatric support, primary health care, and household education. |
