Suicide attempts by poisoning recorded at a toxicological information and assistance center: a cross-sectional study, Fortaleza, 2022
The results showed that suicide attempts by poisoning mainly affect women, occur predominantly at home, and have a favorable clinical outcome. Medications were the most involved toxic agents, and pesticides were the most lethal. These results reinforce the importance of continuous monitoring of cases and the implementation of preventive strategies aimed at the most vulnerable groups.
