Abstract: To describe the sociodemographic profile, spatial distribution, and temporal analysis of exogenous poisoning notifications in Pernambuco between 2011 and 2021.

Results: 95,299 cases were reported, with an average incidence of 9.2 cases/10,000 inhabitants per year. Poisoning occurs mainly at home due to the use of medication, suicide attempts or accidents. Conclusion: Exogenous intoxications mainly affected women and children under 10 years old, with a higher incidence in the Salgueiro Regional Health Department and in the municipality of Afogados da Ingazeira, showing an increasing trend throughout the state.
