Study of direct costs of children hospitalized with opium poisoning: a case study of Iran

Opioid poisonings in young children occurred more frequently in boys, with methadone identified as the most common cause of poisoning. Low parental education levels and a history of addiction in the family were the main risk factors. Increasing parental awareness, controlling access to opioids, and strengthening support services can be effective in reducing poisoning cases and preventing unnecessary costs.

Abstract

Opioid poisonings in young children occurred more frequently in boys, with methadone identified as the most common cause of poisoning. Low parental education levels and a history of addiction in the family were the main risk factors. Increasing parental awareness, controlling access to opioids, and strengthening support services can be effective in reducing poisoning cases and preventing unnecessary costs.
