Cover Story: Promising and effective prevention efforts have been implemented at the national level to eradicate childhood poisoning in the US; however, the potential for exposure is still prevalent during all stages of a child’s life, from infancy through adolescence. According to the CDC WISQARS, poisoning in children accounts for over USD 234million in costs for emergency department visits. This retrospective study examined US poisoning data between 2009 and 2019. Our research sought to answer the following questions: Was there an upward or downward trend in poison exposure and fatality among children aged 0–19? Did children across age groups display different risks for exposure and fatality? If so, was the pattern further explained by the type and intent of exposure? The findings of this study have important implications for interprofessional pediatric healthcare teams. View this paper
