“…Suicide attempts and a history of mental illness were the predominant circumstances of poisoning among children aged 11-18, especially in females. These findings are consistent with the well-established knowledge that adolescent females are more likely than males to have suicidal thoughts and attempts [31] and are at higher risk of depression [32]. A Polish study reported that the most common cause of suicide-related poisoning was family problems [12].…”

IntroductionAcute poisoning is a significant concern in modern pediatrics and emergency medicine, as it is the fifth leading cause of life-threatening injuries in children under 5 years of age. The aim of this study was to analyze and evaluate the overall patterns of acute poisoning among pediatric patients admitted to the Emergency Department of the Pediatric Hospital of the Medical University of Warsaw.Material and methodsThe study is a retrospective analysis of the medical records of children aged 0–18 years admitted to the emergency department due to acute poisoning from January 2020 to June 2021 (18 months).ResultsA total of 401 children aged from 1 month to 18 years old were included in the study. It was the patient’s first poisoning in the vast majority of cases. Most cases were accidental. Acute poisoning was more common among females than males. The most common route of exposure to the poisonous substance was the oral route. The overwhelming majority of patients did not require any antidote treatment. Most children reached the hospital within 1–5 hours after taking the substance and were in generally good condition. Detergents were the most common cause of accidental poisoning, while combined pharmaceuticals and narcotics were the most common causes of intentional intoxication. No deaths were recorded.ConclusionsPediatricians and emergency department staff should be familiar with the management of acute poisoning and be aware of the changing patterns of intoxication depending on age and gender.

“…As a psychiatrist who also works with children and adolescents, I share the main observations made by the Author. Indeed there is a great crisis in child-adolescent psychiatry, but as the Author rightly emphasizes, we will not solve it just by simply When the prevalence of suicide attempts and the incidence of mental disorders increases nationalwide [2][3], this is a problem that goes far beyond the psychiatrists� offices. What does this say about the condition of our society and our way of life?…”

“…Interestingly enough, two thirds of the individuals seeking help needed ambulance transportation ( 5 ). Mental health is a burning topic among the Polish population, with more and more children and adolescents requiring treatment for anxiety and depression in the country, and rates for both major depression and simple mood disorders more than doubling over the last 15 years ( 6 ). Furthermore, the pandemic yielded negative results when it came to the mental health, positive thinking, and sense of well-being of the Polish inhabitants, with feelings of loneliness, anxiety, and depression being reported at greater rates compared to the pre-pandemic era ( 7 , 8 ).…”

The novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) infection and the accompanying coronavirus disease (Covid-19) have shifted the priority of human and technical resources toward their handling, thus affecting the usual standards of care for populations diagnosed with other clinical entities. The phenomenon becomes even more apparent in patients with presenting symptoms of mental and behavioral disorders, a category already vulnerable and underrepresented in regard to its prehospital approach and management. For the purposes of the current retrospective cohort study, we used records of the Polish National Emergency Medical Service Command Support System for the time period between April 1, 2019 and April 30, 2021, the official register of medical interventions delivered in Poland by Emergency Medical Services (EMS). We aimed to examine the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic across the Masovian Voivodeship on individuals seeking medical care for mental and behavioral disorders pertaining in the “F” category of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th Revision (ICD-10). We examined the individuals’ baseline characteristics, prehospital vital parameters and EMS processing times in a population of 59,651 adult patients (04/2019–03/2020, 28,089 patients, 04/2020–03/2021, 31,562 patients) handled by EMS teams. Compared to pre-COVID-19, EMS personnel handled fewer patients, but more patients required mental and behavioral care. Throughout the duration of the pandemic, all prehospital time periods were significantly delayed due to the increased time needed to prepare crew, vehicles, and technical equipment to ensure COVID-19 prevention and overcrowding in Emergency Departments (EDs).
