Abstrakt: A collaborative study of 273 treated poisonings at three regional poison control centers showed a significant decrease in salicylism from 19%% of all cases in 1970 to 9%% in 1975 and 11%% in 1980. A temporal correlation with safety packaging was also seen in the decrease in poisonings by household products from 36%% and 42%% of all treated poisonings in 1970 and 1975 to 21%% in 1980. Poisonings by non-salicylate medications increased from 45%% to 68%% of treated ingestions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
