Abstract: Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of first-aid poisoning in Beijing from 2010 to 2017 and to provide a scientific basis for formulating comprehensive prevention and control measures.Methods Data on first-aid poisoning cases from 2010 to 2017 were collected from the Beijing Emergency Medical Center. The data were analyzed by descriptive epidemiological analysis from the perspectives of different populations, time, and space, respectively. Results Totally 101 052 patients with first-aid poisoning were rescued by Beijing Emergency Center from 2010 to 2017. Alcohol poisoning, drug poisoning, and carbon monoxide poisoning were the leading causes, accounting for 92.30% of the total number. The male-to-female ratio is 2.09∶1, and the high-risk age group is 20-40 years old. First-aid poisoning cases occurred throughout the year with a peak in January, February, and December, and there are more patients in urban areas than in the suburbs. Conclusion The focus of Beijing's poisoning prevention and control work should be on alcohol intoxication, drug poisoning, and carbon monoxide poisoning. Particularly, the medical and health departments should reinforce the prevention and control of poisoning incidents for the population of young and middle-aged men, the period of January, February, and December around the Spring Festival, and the region of urban areas.
