Data for Clinical and Epidemiological Patterns of Acute Pharmaceutical Poisoning in Nicaraguan Adults: A Cross-Sectional Analysis

This dataset contains the curated, de-identified clinical and epidemiological data of 43 adult patients ($n = 43$) hospitalized due to acute pharmaceutical poisoning at the "Carlos Roberto Huembés" University Hospital in Managua, Nicaragua, covering the period from 2020 to 2021. The primary objective of this data collection was to characterize the clinical-epidemiological profile of medicinal overdoses and evaluate the risk factors and predictors associated with clinical complications and the length of hospital stay (LOS). Data were retrospectively extracted from physical and electronic medical records of patients aged 18 years and older who met the clinical and laboratory criteria for acute poisoning secondary to pharmaceutical agents. The dataset tracks sociodemographic characteristics, toxicological profiles (specific active ingredients, drug classes, and dosage), clinical presentation structured by toxidromes, medical management interventions (decontamination, supportive care, and antidote administration), and clinical outcomes (complications, length of stay, and mortality).
