There have been seen many cases of intentional or acciden‐tal poisoning with drugs and chemicals in india and in the world. During the evaluation of patients who come with poisoning, after the hospitalization of the patient, the clini‐cian must answer the questions about whether the patient needs medical treatment and if s/he needs such treatment, what the treatment and follow‐up duration must be. It should be pointed out that especially the anamnesis of patients tak‐en too many drugs for suicidal purposes is unreliable.\Also in our study, it was found that systems aimed at predicting the severity of intensive care patients are mostly focused on the evaluation of sepsis patients. The clinical use of the poisoning severity score (PSS), which is used in the evaluation of patients with poisoning, has not reached the desired prevalence due to the examination of the large number of parameters. The most important limitation of our study is that it is done in one center and as the result, it could not be possible to examine some types of poisoning. The Ankara Poisoning Criteria, introduced in this study, is an appropriate, simple and practical scoring system that can be used in the decision for the indication of intensive care hos‐pitalization and prognosis prediction in cases with poisoning.
