- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Determination of Prevalence of intoxication in paediatric children through study completion, an average of 1 year Subjects will be stratified by age and type of assumed toxic substance. The prevalence of intoxication in this population will be measured calculating the number of people in the sample with the characteristic of interest, divided by the total number of people in the sample.
Determination of Incidence of intoxication in paediatric children through study completion, an average of 1 year Subjects will be stratified by age and type of assumed toxic substance. The incidence of intoxication in paediatric children will be measured taking the total number of new cases of intoxication and divided that by the sum of the person-time of the at-risk population.
