Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to predict the clinic and demographic profile of patients who attempt suicide by poisoning with zinc phosphide. Material and Methods: All cases presenting to the ED from January 1st 2009 to April 30th 2011 due to Acute Zinc Phosphide Poisoning were retrospectively reviewed.
