SANCHEZ HORTA, Yusleny; REYES SANCHEZ, Rafael; RAMOS VAZQUEZ, Junys  y  RODRIGUEZ PEREZ, Ariel. Clinical-epidemiological behavior of poisoning with organophosphate compounds. Rev Ciencias Médicas [online]. 2010, vol.14, n.4, pp.75-85. ISSN 1561-3194.

Poisoning with organophosphate compounds constitutes a health problem in Pinar del Rio province due to the agricultural traditions of its population. Objective: a descriptive study was designed to characterize the clinical-epidemiological behavior of poisoning with organophosphate compounds in the emergency room at "Leon Cuervo Rubio" General Teaching Hospital during January 2006 to December 2008. Method: an observational, descriptive and retrospective study was conducted at "Leon Cuervo Rubio" General Teaching Hospital during January 1st, 2006 to December 31st, 2008. Results: 62% of the patients were male, between 20 and 49 years old and rural zone inhabitants (63.2%). The admission in the Intensive Care Units was 100% for those severely-ill due to the severity of poisoning, the category of voluntary nature in relation to those who carried it out intentionally (66.3%) prevailed. Conclusions: in Pinar del Rio poisoning with organophosphate compounds is highly intentional and it occurs in men in active working ages; mainly severe lesions, provoking a high lethality.
