The objective of this study is to evaluate the spatial and temporal impact of carbon monoxide-based poisoning on the Moroccan population. This will be fulfilled through the study of the evolution of the impact as morbidity indicator. This assessment will determine the regional populations at risk to better focus the strategic efforts of awareness carried by Poison Control Center and Pharmacovigilance and all health stakeholders in Morocco. Methods: adoption of analytical and cartographic study of the effects of poisoning caused by carbon monoxide, listed by the CAPM, on the populations of Morocco's 16 regions over a period from 1999 to 2013. Results: The trend over time shows a continuous growth of the impact at the national level from 0.025 in 1999 to 0.074 per 1000 inhabitants in 2013. The study of the evolution of regional impacts shows that the people of the Meknes-Tafilalt region are the most exposed to risks of carbon monoxide poisoning in Morocco with an average incidence of 0.112 per 1000 inhabitants. Next come the regions of Tadla-Azilal, Fes-Boulmane, Tanger-Tetouan and the Oriental with an average impact ranging from 0.075 to 0.087 per 1000 inhabitants. Conclusion: The study shows that carbon monoxide poisoning in Morocco is modulated by the weather. Indeed, the highest incidences are recorded in regions with cold temperatures. However, we should not overlook the accidental nature of poisoning linked to the behavior of people in their careless use of heating systems.

Abstract: (french)
L’objectif de ce travail est d’évaluer l’impact spatial et temporel des intoxications au monoxyde de carbone sur la population marocaine à travers l’étude de l’évolution de l’incidence comme indicateur de morbidité. Cette évaluation permettra de déterminer les populations régionales à risque afin de mieux focaliser les efforts stratégiques de sensibilisation du Centre Antipoison et de Pharmacovigilance et de tous les intervenants en santé au Maroc. Méthodes: Etude analytique et cartographique des incidences des empoisonnements par le monoxyde de carbone, répertoriés par le CAPM, dans les populations des 16 régions du Maroc sur une période allant de 1999 à 2013. Résultats: L’évolution dans le temps montre une croissance continue de l’incidence au niveau national passant de 0.025 en 1999 à 0.074 pour 1000 habitants en 2013. L’étude de l’évolution des incidences régionales montre que les populations de la région de Meknès-Tafilalt sont les plus exposées au risque d’intoxication au monoxyde de carbone au Maroc avec une incidence moyenne de 0.112 pour 1000 habitant. Viennent après les régions de Tadla-Azilal, Fès-Boulmane, Tanger-Tétouan et l’Oriental avec des incidences moyennes comprises entre 0.075 et 0.087 pour 1000 habitants. Conclusion: L’étude montre que l’intoxication au monoxyde de carbone au Maroc est modulée par les conditions météorologiques. En effet, les incidences les plus élevées sont enregistrées dans les régions caractérisées par des températures automnales et surtout hivernales froides. Toutefois, il ne faut pas négliger le caractère accidentel de l’intoxication lié aux comportements sociologiques des populations dans l’utilisation imprudente des systèmes de chauffage.
