Neurological features of acute poisoning in paediatric patients presenting to the emergency department: a retrospective study
Altered consciousness is the most common neurological feature in paediatric poisoning but is not directly linked to hospitalisation. While neurological symptoms are important in assessment, factors such as suicidal intent, mode of emergency access, and age are stronger predictors of hospitalization and should be prioritized in the initial evaluation.
