Abstract

Acute poisoning by pesticides in Morocco is an important public health issue, because the use of pesticides has become both massive and anarchic. This is the cause of deaths whose incidence is unfortunately increasing. Unfortunately, these deaths are not always accidental. Pesticides are also used as a means of suicide; according to the WHO, these are means suicide chemicals most used in the world, since, out of the 800,000 suicides recorded per year, more than a third are caused by this type of product. Even more serious, these suicides are currently being observed among children and teenagers. Faced with this alarming figure, and in order to prevent deaths and improve emergency treatment of cases of pesticide poisoning, it becomes important to use the potential of artificial intelligence in the treatment of these admissions. Our approach is essentially based on machine learning algorithms, including decision support software capable of predicting, based on major clinical signs, the most likely pesticide responsible of the intoxication in the triage room. This, before moving on to the confirmation stage based on biological and toxicological investigations, which are often costly and time-consuming.
