Abstract

Objective: Tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) poisonings can cause serious clinical outcome. The Antidepressant Overdose Risk Assessment (ADORA) criteria are used in the assessment of patients with TCA poisoning. However, the data about the benefits of these criteria in mortality and morbidity prediction in the clinical practice are insufficient. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship of ADORA criteria with clinical outcome.
