NATIONAL HOSPITAL STUDY OF ACUTE PESTICIDE POISONINGS
ADMITTED TO GENERAL CARE HOSPITALS
CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION AND LITERATURE REVIEW
Acute poisonings by pesticides are a continuing problem in the
United States. All pesticides are considered toxic and can cause illness
or even death when misused. The toxicity of a pesticide, route of exposure,
or formulation, as well as the age, sex, race, and physical and/or mental
health status of the user may play an important role in resulting morbidity
or mortality (1).
Except for acute hospitalized cases, morbidity data related to pesticide
poisonings are not so readily available nor so reliable as are mortality
data. Much of the problem lies in the lack of an adequate definition for
pesticide poisoning. Some researchers believe that nonfatal cases may
legitimately range from exposure leading to no illness, to exposure
resulting in severe symptomatology and permanent physical damage; others
think that only cases resulting in significant illness should be identified
as a pesticide poisoning (2,3).
It has been estimated that mortality resulting from pesticide
intoxication approaches one death per million population annually, and
that pesticides are responsible for approximately 10 percent of all deaths
associated with the ingestion of a foreign substance, i.e., a liquid or
solid (3,4). Hayes and Pirkle reported a total of 111 pesticide poisoning
deaths in the United States in 1961; 69.4 percent of the victims were
white and 30.6 percent black (5). Furthermore, more than 51 percent of
the observed deaths occurred in the 10 year age group. It has been
estimated that more than 50 percent of the deaths among children involved
1
-------
misuse (6). Davies reported 25 deaths related to pesticide exposure in
the greater Miami, Florida, area between January 1963 and August 1965;
36 percent of the victims were children (7). California, which maintains
accurate records on pesticide poisonings related to occupational exposure,
reported 38 deaths between 1951 and 1970 (7).
In 1970 McLeod reported on 107 pesticide poisonings treated at
Charity Hospital in New Orleans, Louisiana, from 1965 through 1967.
Lisella et al. reported on 67 pesticide poisonings in Linn County, Iowa,
1965-68. In a 1970 survey of Arizona physicians, Morgan and Roan reported
that 148 physicians treated 469 pesticide poisonings; and in a 1971 survey
conducted by the Colorado Pesticide Study (8,9), Colorado physicians
reported treating 154 pesticide poisonings. Reich et al. noted that in
a six-year period (1960-1966), 275 acute pesticide poisonings were reported
in the lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas (10).
Data on acute pesticide poisonings accumulated in such a manner do
not represent a national picture but they do provide a rough assessment
of poisonings reported in varied geographic regions, through a diverse
and complicated reporting mechanism. To compound the situation, there is
no recognized reporting mechanism suitable for the systematic identification,
characterization, and reporting of pesticide poisonings. What does exist
is a diverse mixture of reporting by State and Federal agencies, scientific
investigators, consumer groups, and private citizens. For example, in
1974 the Pesticide Episode Review System (PERS) reported 1561 human
pesticide poisonings. PERS is a voluntary reporting system that collects,
collates, and reports pesticide poisoning data from such sources as State
health departments and poison control centers. The State of California,
with its mandatory reporting system related to workmen's compensation and
-------
the payment of a physician's fee for treatment, reported on more than
1100 pesticide poisoning cases in 1974 (7). If these figures are accurate
then California apparently accounts for more than 70 percent of all
human pesticide poisonings reported to that system. A more reasonable
explanation is that PERS is inadequately reported. Regardless of the
problems associated with the reporting methods, it is clear that pesticide
poisonings pose a significant threat to human health.
-------
CHAPTER II
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
There is no reliable system capable of reporting, collecting,
collating, and disseminating accurate information on the status of pesticide
poisonings in the United States today. Not only is the collecting and
reporting system complex and confusing; it simply does not work effectively.
Even if the system reporting inputs were in concert and working, there
are little, if any, accurate data on the morbidity and mortality of pesticide
poisonings available to report. It is virtually impossible, without
demanding cooperation from physicians treating pesticide poisonings, to
develop reliable figures on cases treated outside the environs of a
general-care hospital. Records of acute pesticide poisoning cases admitted
for treatment provide the best potential for a reliable data source.
Hospitals of the American Hospital Association must maintain a current
and complete medical record on each patient. Records contain the
patient's identifying data and consent forms, medical history, record
of physical examination, physicians' progress notes, operative notes,
nurses' notes, routine x-ray and laboratory reports, doctors' orders,
and final diagnosis (11). Furthermore, to be listed as an acute
hospitalized pesticide poisoning case requires that a patient see a
physician; that the physician be adequately familiar with pesticide
poisonings for a correct diagnosis; and that the patients' illness be
severe enough to require hospitalization.
The purposes of this study were: use hospital patient records to
develop accurate and reliable data on the magnitude and character of
hospital-admitted poisoning cases, and to develop for the first time
-------
nationwide incidence rates for hospitalized acute pesticide poisoning
cases among those persons admitted to general-care hosptials.
The study design omitted victims of undiagnosed pesticide poisoning,
emergency-room patients who are not assigned a hospital bed, and patients
treated by physicians outside the hospital environment.
-------
CHAPTER III
METHODS
The objective of the study, as stated in Chapter II, was to
develop nationwide incidence rates for hospitalized acute pesticide
poisoning cases among those persons admitted to general-care hospitals.
The sample population were patients in the approximately 7,000 general -
care hospitals in the United States. A hospital is classified general
care by the American Hospital Association (AHA) if the majority of its
admissions are general medical and surgery cases (11).
Hospitals were the primary sampling units. From a complete list
of general-care hospitals in the United States a sample was selected
according to the following design. Each hospital represented a cluster
of admissions. Once a hospital was selected the entire cluster was
observed in order to count the number of pesticide cases occurring within
the cluster. To increase precision of the estimates, the population of
general hospitals was stratified according to: pesticide practices in
their respective areas defined as low use or high use, and hospital size
within each use level, State, and Epidemiologic Studies Program (ESP)
center of Excellence.
From this sampling frame the study was selected. The stratifica-
tion plan is shown on the following pages.

The stratum boundaries, i.e., A^, A2»..., A^, and the number of hosptials
sampled within each area were determined by the actual distribution of
admission rates for the hospitals included in the sampling frame. The
allocation of the sample to each stratum was constructed so that each stratum
had at least some limiting lower sampling rate. The number of hospitals to
be sampled within a high-use or low-use area of a State was determined in
the following manner. The hospitals within a given use stratum were ranked
according to admissions and then divided into k quantiles, where k is
the number of hospitals to be selected. The k quantiles, containing
approximately the same number of hospitals, constitute the admissions strata.
Within each stratum one hospital was selected at random. Although the
probability of obtaining a given sample under this plan is approximately
equivalent to the probability of obtaining the sample using simple random
sampling, this procedure ensures that the distribution of admissions into the
sampled hospitals will be representative of the distribution of admissions
into all hospitals in the same use stratum.
-------
Estimates of the incidence rate of hospitalized pesticide
poisonings should take the sampling design into account. Of the many
ways to estimate the incidence rate in stratified random sampling
(Cochran, 1963), two of the more natural estimators are the combined
ratio estimate
Nt
and the stratified ratio estimate
Y - ? *h v
ST ~ r_, Tfi h '
A
Within a given use stratum of a State, Y and Yc_ are estimates of the
C o I
total number of hospitalized poisonings, n is the number of admissions
strata, and x is the total admissions of all hospitals within the use
stratum. Within the h— admissions stratum, Nu and X. are, respectively,
the number and total admissions of all hospitals, nn and x. are the number
and total admissions of the sampled hospitals, and y^ is the number of
observed hospitalized pesticide poisonings in the h— admissions stratum.
Although the stratified ratio estimate does not require the assumption
that the true incidence rate remains constant from stratum to stratum it is
susceptible to bias if the sample size within each stratum is small. Since
typically only one hospital was selected within each admissions stratum this
problem of bias arises. A better estimate of the incidence rate would be
A
obtained by using the combined ratio estimate YC, which is less susceptible
under these circumstances. However, because typically only one hospital with-
in each admissions stratum is selected, the variance of Yc cannot be directly
8
-------
estimated. Because the sampling plan renders the ratio Nh/nh
approximately constant over admissions strata, the combined ratio
estimator is approximately equivalent to the simple ratio estimator
Y =1 x
A»
The estimator Y arises from ignoring stratification by admissions and
therefore assumes that the true incidence rate is constant over admissions
strata. Since the probability of selecting a given sample under the
sampling scheme is approximately equivalent to the probability of selection
/\
under simple random sampling, the variance of Y assuming simple random
sampling should be a good approximation to the variance of Y based on the sample
design. Because Y is approximately equivalent to Y , and because an
c
estimate of the variance of Y can be obtained, it was decided to use Y
to estimate the incidence rate of hospitalized pesticide poisonings within
a given use stratum within a State.
Thus , for each year from 1971 to 1973, the sample was stratified. Main
strata were the States and substrata were the pesticide use levels, either
low or high. Because this report provides incidence rates for the 10 sub-
divisions of the Nation designated as U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) regions, the following notation will be used when subpopulation refers
to all general hospitals., i.e., AHA Class 10 hospitals, within a given
pesticide use area of a given State for a given year.
Within the u— pesticide use class of the s— state of EPA
region r:
-------
n denotes number of hospitals sampled.
rsu
N denotes number of hospitals in the sampled subpopulation.
i o u
O.U
xrsui denotes admission of the i— sampled hospital.
yrsui denotes number of cases seen in the i— sampled hospital.
xrsu denotes admissions of all nfsu sampled hospitals.
^rsu. denotes total number of cases seen in all nrsu sampled
hospitals.
X denotes total admittance of all the hospitals in the
subpopulation.
P = ^rsu. denotes proportion of total cases to total admittance
*rsu
for sampled hospitals.
Within the u^- use class within the s— State of EPA region r, the
estimated incidence, in terms of the number of admissions to the sub-
population, is
Y = P X
rsu rsu rsu.
Per 100,000 admissions, the estimated incidence rate is
iLcll = 100,000 p
rsu rrsu
Since the estimators of the incidence rate are simple ratio
estimators, the estimated variances of the estimators are:
VFY 1 =(Nrsu -nrsu) Nrsu "T (y -p x -)2
"rsu <- rS
V[Rrsu] = QMJQO) 2 -
rsu rsu
Because the true incidence rate may not be constant among use strata or
States, the appropirate estimate of incidence over a combination of
10
-------
use strata is the sum of the estimates of incidence for each use stratum.
Since the use strata are considered independent, the variance of the
estimate over the combination of strata would be the sum of the variances
of the estimates of each stratum. Hence the estimated incidence rate
for the uj-ll pesticide use class within the rM EPA region is
"r.u -

the variance of this estimator is given by

Incidence rates for various combinations of substrata were also
estimated: for example, the incidence rate for Maine as a whole, or the
incidence rate for the area composed of low usage regions of Maine,
Vermont, and New Hampshire. For each substratum (use within State) in
the region of interest, authors obtained the following values: Xrsu, the
,/s
total admissions of all hospitals in the subpopulation; Y , the
y\
incidence rate in terms of X ; and V[Y ], the associated variance.
IoU * jU
By summing all the ?rsu, V[Yr ], and X of all substrata in the region
of interest, authors obtained the following: X, the total admissions of all
hospitals in the regions; Y, the estimated incidence for the region
expressed in terms of X; and V, the estimated variance of Y.
11

In terms of 100,000 admissions the estimated incidence for the
region is
R = 100.000 Y,

The State of Colorado, for example, was computed as follows:
Let y = total hospitalized acute pesticide poisoning cases
per year in the low usage area of Colorado.
XL .= total admissions/year for all general hospitals in
the low usage area of Colorado.
x = total admissions/year for the sampled hospitals in the
low usage area of Colorado.
The estimate of the total number of hospitalized acute poisoning
cases for the low usage area of Colorado is then
YL - XL L
Y -— yL.

Similarly, with an obvious change in notation, the estimate for the high
usage area is

The estimate for Colorado would then be given by

The estimate for other regions follows from subregions such as this.
Besides total incidence (Y and R) it was desirable to obtain
incidence rates for various parts of the population. For example, the
incidence rates of intentional and accidental poisonings were of interest
as were incidence rates for various age groups in the population.
Calling y the total number of cases observed, y the number of cases

To estimate, for example, the incidence of hospitalized pesticide
poisonings over both high and low usage levels in EPA Region I in 1973,
authors proceeded as follows:

For the u^"- pesticide use class within the s— State in Region I

The above procedure presumes knowledge of the admissions of each
sampled hospital and the total admissions of all hospitals in each use
level for every State; for 1973 these are known. The total number of
admissions to all hospitals in the United States was available.
For 1972 and 1971, only, incidences were estimated as described above
except that the total admissions for both the sampled hospitals and all
hospitals in the subpopulation within each use class of each State were
estimated as their 1973 values times a constant. The constant K was the
total national admissions for the year in question divided by the total
national 1973 admissions. For example, using x^3 and X_3 to denote
total admissions for the sampled hospitals and all hospitals in the Maine
subpopulation exposed to high pesticide use in 1973, authors estimate x
rsu
and X for that substratum for 1972 as x = x,,K and X = X,_K.

14
-------
No estimate of variance is made. This procedure assumes that the
rate of change in admissions is constant among all hospitals in the sense
that the ratio of the admissions of sampled hospitals to the admissions of
the subpopulation hopsitals within every pesticide use class of every State
remains approximately constant from year to year. If this assumption does
not hold then the estimates will be biased.
A more detailed discussion of such ratio estimates in stratified
random sampling appears in most texts on statistical sampling.
Cochran notes, "If intelligently used, stratification nearly always
results in a smaller variance for the mean or total than is given by a
comparable simple random sample" (12). Furthermore, in the present study,
precision was increased by stratification in view of the following
conditions:
1. The population was composed of hospitals varying widely in size.
2. The principal variable to be measured was closely related to the
size of the hospitals.
3. A good measure of size, namely, number of admissions, was
available for setting up the strata.
"Nonresponse" refers to the failure to measure some of the units in
the sample. With continuous data, any sizable proportion of nonresponse
usually makes it impossible to assign useful confidence limits to the
sample results. Most nonresponse in this study were expected to fall into
one of three categories.
1. Inability to answer due to change in hospital codes.
2. Unavailability of hospital administrator or record librarian.
3. Refusal by administrators of admission to hospital records due
to confidentiality.
15
-------
It was also recognized that a nonresponse might arise because of
inadequate coding of hospital records. Although the majority of hospitals
use the PAS, ICDA, or H-ICDA codes, occasionally a hospital uses a code
designed by and for a specific individual maintaining the records. When
that person leaves the job, the records cannot be retrieved. Such a
situation arose on one occasion in the Colorado pre-test.
It had been anticipated that some hospital administrators would refuse
access to patient's records on the basis of confidentiality or other
considerations. Each administrator was notified in advance, by letter, of
the week that a field epidemiologist would be in the area doing the study.
A hospital which refused to reveal records was termed a nonrespondent;
actually in terms of the patient records such a hospital could be considered
a cluster of nonrespondents. In discussing nonresponse, it was convenient
to divide the population of hospitals into two strata, the first consisting
of all hospitals in which patient records were available, the second
consisting of those hospitals for which patient records were not available.
This division into two distinct strata was, of course, an oversimplification.
In a mo're complete specification of the problem, one should attach to each
hospital a probability representing the chance that its patient records
would be available if it fell within the sample.
The survey plans did not provide information about the nonresponse
stratum. This would not matter if it could be assumed that the character-
istics of the nonresponse stratum are the same as those of the response
stratum. To determine whether differences exist between hospitals in the
two strata, a random subsample of the hospitals in the nonresponse stratum
was drawn and a major effort was made to survey every hospital in the
subsample. Two types of callback were conceived: a second contact with
the hospital administrator either by a different field epidemiologist or
16
-------
by his or her supervisor; and contact with the hospital chief of staff
instead of the hospital administrator, preferably by someone other than the
field epidemiologist who made the original contact.
To check the thoroughness of the field epidemiologists in abstracting
patient records, investigators arranged to resample 5 percent of the total
poisoning cases surveyed. Further quality control was built into the
program by thoroughly instructing epidemiologists who could, in turn,
instruct medical librarians to pull appropriate patient records.
Epidemiologists were cautioned not to oversample and risk losing cooperation
of the hospital administrators.
The training consisted of three phases: a workshop training course in
Fort Collins July 23-24, 1974; an initial field trial in late August; and
a second training course in Iowa City September 5-6, 1974. The second
training course provided an opportunity to identify and discuss some
problems in the execution of the field trial.
To control the quality of these data, selected staff members at the
Colorado Pesticide Center were trained to edit and code, the completed
data sheet.
Using the notation presented above, the estimate of the total number
of acute pesticide poisonings can be written in the form
50
Y = i I
where Y. . is the estimated total number of hospitalized acute pesticide
' J
poisonings in the j — usage level in the i — State and the n^ equals 1 or 2
depending on the State; that is,
17
-------
y. .
Y.. = ILL X..
U x U
where y.., x.., and X.. have been defined in the above example. If n..
• J ij • j ij
and N.. denote the sample and population, respectively, number of hospitals
' J
in the j— usage level in the i— State, then the variance of the estimate
*
Y is approximately
50 ni M (N . n )
Var(Y) = I I ij ij ij s
i=^ J=^ n.. ij

P f.
where S^ is the approximate variance of Y..:
S?, = (S2, + PL- S2 - 2p.. P .. S S ).
In the above formula, p denotes the true population ratio X» p
2 X
denotes the correlation coefficient between X and Y, and S and
J'
p
S denote the population variances of Y and X, respectively.
/\
^
With a constant cost per stratum, the variance of Y can be minimized
by choosing sample sizes n.. proportional to N.. S. . In planning a
ij ij aij
sample, the allocation with a ratio estimate such as that defined above
is extremely perplexing since it is usually difficult to speculate about
the values of S. . If SH remains constant over all strata, then n..
n . . Q . . in
IJ U 1J
can be chosen proportional to N.., resulting in a constant rate of sampling
' J
for all strata. However, because the investigators believed that S. could
dij
reasonably be higher in the high use areas. and because followup studies
might be conducted eventually, sampling was heavier in the high pesticide
usage areas.
18
-------
In the ideal survey sampling plan, the sample size should be chosen
not only to satisfy cost constraints, as in the present plan, but also to
meet requirements for obtaining the desired precision of the estimate.
For example, an estimate in error by no more than 100 cases might be
desired. This problem can be solved easily when certain population values,
i.e., p, p , S , S are known; when these population values are not known,
X J
as in the case at hand, no solution is possible. However, there are two-
stage procedures, such as that of Stein (13 ), for determining the sample size
required for a specified degree of precision on the basis of a preliminary
sample. The pilot test indicated that initial sample sizes would meet
requirements for precision of the estimates.
Estimates in Tables 49 and following were developed from the total
numbers of observed cases by each selected parameter identified in the
table heading within each State or region, rather than from individual
strata within each State. Therefore, the sums of the regional or State
estimates in these tables differ slightly from sums in preceding tables.

NATIONAL ESTIMATES OF ACUTE HOSPITALIZED PESTICIDE
POISONINGS, INCIDENCE, AND MORTALITY RATES, 1971-73.
CHAPTER IV
RESULTS
On the basis of the estimation procedure described in Chapter III,
the estimated number of pesticide poisonings admitted to aeneral care
hospitals and the incidence rates per 100,000 hospital admissions were
developed for the Nation, Environmental Protection Aqency Regions, and
each of the 50 States and the District of Columbia. Mortality numbers
and rates were also developed for the United States and for EPA Regions.
Henceforth in this report estimated numbers shall refer to numbers
of hospital admitted pesticide poisonings and deaths, and incidence rates
shall refer to cases of pesticide poisonings admitted to hospitals per
100,000 hospital admissions.
Poisonings and Rates by Nation, EPA Region, and State
The estimated number of hospital-admitted pesticide poisonings in
the United States in 1971-73 was 8,248. Poisonings rose from 2,596 in
1971, and 2,821 in 1972, to 2,831 in 1973, an increase of 235 cases or
9 percent during the three-year period. Incidence rates ranged from 8.2
cases per 100,000 hospital admissions in 1971 to 8.5 in 1973.
In 1971 the estimated number of poisonings ranged from 39 in EPA
Region I to 588 in Region IV. Incidence rates ranged from 1.6 in Region II,
to 17.1 in Region IX.
In 1972 the estimated number of poisonings ranged from 41 in EPA
Region I to 628 in Region IV. Incidence rates ranged from 2.4 in Regions
I and II to 15.3 in Region IX.
20
-------
In 1973 the estimated number of poisonings ranged from 77 in
Region I to 547 in Region IX. Incidence rates ranged from 2.2 in
Region II to 15.5 in Region IX.
Data from 1971 to 1973 in Regions I, V, VII, VIII, and X clearly
indicate an increase in the numbers of pesticide poisonings admitted to
general-care hospitals. Three regions (IV, VI, and IX) have consistently
maintained incidence rates greater than the average rate of the ten regions.
Six of the regions (I, II, V, VII, VIII, and X) had higher incidence
rates in 1973 than in 1971.
Among the 50 States, California had the highest estimated number
of pesticide poisonings in 1971, 1972, and 1973; respective figures were
488, 438, and 462. Delaware, the District of Columbia, and Idaho had
the highest rates of pesticide poisoning admissions in 1971-73. Respective
incidence rates per 100,000 hospital admissions were 57.5, 79.7, and 48.4.
Poisonings and Rates by Cause of Exposure
Nationally, the estimated numbers of pesticide poisonings admitted to
general-care hospitals as a result of occupational exposure increased from
811 in 1971 to 855 in 1973. Admissions of non-occupational pesticide
poisonings increased from 1,295 in 1971 to 1,*46 in 1973. Admissions of
intentional pesticide poisonings increased from 475 in 1971 to 516 in
1973. However, incidence rates of pesticide poisonings ner 100,000 hospital
admissions in the occupationally exposed was 2.5 in 1971, and remained
at that figure in 1973. Incidence rates of the nonoccupationally and
intentionally exposed groups were not significantly different in 1973
from those of 1971.
21
-------
In 1971 Region IV had an estimated 332 occupationally related pesticide
poisonings and Region VI had an incidence rate of 6.6 cases per 100,000
hospital addmissions. These were the highest rates in the regions.
The estimated number of occupationally related pesticide poisonings
admitted to general-care hospitals by States in 1971 was highest in Texas,
which had 208. Idaho had the highest incidence rate: 18.2 cases per
100,000 hospital admissions. California had 239 estimated nonoccupational
pesticide poisonings, the highest among the States. Delaware had the
highest incidence rate for this group: 38.3 cases per 100,000 hospital
admissions.
In 1972, Region IV had an estimated 225 occupationally related
pesticide poisonings and an incidence rate of 4.2 cases per 100,000
hospital admissions, the highest among the regions. Region V, with an
estimated number of 367 nonoccupationally exposed pesticide poisonings,
was highest among the regions, Region III had the highest incidence rate:
7.9 cases per 100,000 hosiptal admissions. Georgia had an estimated 98
occupationally related pesticide poisonings, the highest among the States.
Delaware had the highest incidence rate: 56.5 cases per 100,000 hospital
admissions. California, with an estimated 231 nonoccupationally related
pesticides poisonings, was the highest among the States, and the District
of Columbia had the highest incidence rate: 68.3 cases per 100,000 hospital
admissions.
In 1973 Region IV had an estimated 296 occupationally related
pesticide poisonings, the highest among the regions, and Region VI had the
highest incidence rate: 5.8 cases per 100,000 hospital admissions.
Region V, with an estimated number of 364 nonoccupationally exposed pesticide
22
-------
poisonings, was highest among the regions: Region IX had the highest
incidence rate: 9.0 cases per 100,000 hospital admissions. Texas had an
estimated 163 occupationally related pesticide poisonings, the highest
among the States, and Idaho had the highest incidence rate: 31.2 cases
per 100,000 hospital admissions. California had an estimated 278
nonoccupationally related pesticide poisonings, the highest among the
States, and the District of Columbia had the highest incidence rate:
22.0 cases per 100,000 hospital admissions.
In 1971 skilled and unskilled laborers had an estimated 210 admitted
pesticide poisonings, the highest rate of any occupationally-exposed group.
Region VI had an estimated 132 admitted pesticide poisonings in this group,
the highest of any region. Region VI had the highest incidence rate among
skilled and unskilled laborers: 3.8 cases per 100,000 hospital admissions.
In 1972 farmers had an estimated 173 hospital-admitted pesticide
poisonings, the highest rate of any occupationally-exposed proup. Region IV
had an estimated 69 admitted pesticide poisonings, the highest among the
regions. Region IV also had the highest incidence rate among farmers: 1.3
cases per 100,000 hospital admissions.
In 1973 farmers had an estimated 227 hospital-admitted pesticide
poisonings, once again the highest of any occupationally-exposed group.
Region IV had an estimated 72 admitted pesticide poisonings in this group
highest among the regions. Region VIII had the highest incidence rate
among the hospital-admitted farmers, however, with 3.0 pesticide poisonings
per 100,000 hospital admissions.
Poisonings and Rates by Major Pesticide Class
Organophosphates were most often involved in occupationally related
hospital-admitted pesticide poisonings in 1971-73.
23
-------
In 1971 organophosphates were involved in an estimated 572 such
poisonings; chlorinated hydrocarbons were estimated to fie responsible for
only 79 cases. Region IV had an estimated 242 organophosphate poisonings,
highest among the regions. Region VI had the highest incidence rate:
5.3 cases per 100,000 hospital admissions.
In 1972 organophosphates were involved in an estimated 454 occupation-
ally related hospital-admitted pesticide poisonings; chlorinated hydro-
carbons were estimated to be responsible for only 102 such cases. Region
IV, with an estimated 174 organophosphate poisonings, and an incidence
rate of 3.1 cases per 100,000 admissions, was again high among all EPA
regions.
In 1973 organophosphates contributed to an estimated 544 occupation-
ally related hospital-admitted pesticide poisonings; chlorinated hydro-
carbons were estimated to be responsible for only 140 such cases.
Region IV had an estimated 174 organophosphate poisonings, highest of
all EPA regions. Region VI had the highest incidence rate: 4.2 cases
per 100,000 hospital admissions.
Poisonings and Rates Among Children 0-4 Years
In 1971 an estimated 995 children 0-4 years of age were admitted to
hospitals as a result of pesticide poisonings. In Region V an estimated
284 children were admitted to hospitals, more than in any other region.
Region I had only an estimated 21 children admitted to hospitals, lowest
among all regions for children under 5 years. Region IX had an incidence
rate of 5.9 cases per 100,000 hospital admissions, highest among all regions,
Highest rates among States were California, where an estimated 198 children
were admitted to hospitals because of pesticide poisoning, and Delaware,
which had an incidence rate of 36.5 cases per 100,000 hospital admissions.
24
-------
In 1972 an estimated 1,231 children under 5 years of age were admitted
to hospitals as a result of pesticide poisonings. In Region V , an
estimated 309 children were admitted to hospitals, more than in any other
region. Region VIII had an estimated 11 children admitted to hospitals,
fewer than in any other region. Regions III and IX had an incidence rate
of 5.4 cases per 100,000 admissions, the highest among all regions.
California, where an estimated 172 children were admitted to hospitals,
and the District of Columbia, which had an incidence rate of 66.1 cases
per 100,000 hospital admissions were highest among the States.
In 1973 an estimated 1,001 children 0-4 years of age were admitted to
hospitals as a result of pesticide poisonings. Once again Region V, with
an estimated 286 children admitted, was highest among all regions. Region I,
with an estimated six children admitted, was lowest. Region IX had an
incidence rate of 7.3 cases per 100,000 hospital admissions, higher than
any other region. California, where an estimated 238 children were admitted
to hospitals, and the District of Columbia, which had an incidence rate of
16.5 cases per 100,000 admissions were high among States.
Poisoning Deaths by Cause of Exposure and Age
Approximately 49 hospitalized individuals died in 1971 because of
pesticide poisonings. Eight of these were occupationally related deaths
in Region VI. Region IV, where 17 nonoccupationally related deaths
occured, led all regions.
It is estimated that 92 persons died in hospitals as a result of
pesticide poisonings in 1972. Region IV, with an estimated eight
occupationally related deaths, and Region VI, with 16 nonoccupationally
related deaths were high among the regions.
25
-------
An estimated 54 hospital-admitted deaths occurred in 1973 as a
result of pesticide poisonings. Approximately eight of these were
occupationally-exposed workers in Region VI; another eight were non-
occupational ly exposed persons in Region V. These two were high among
the regions.
In 1971-73 among occupationally-exposed workers, eight deaths were
estimated in the 25-32 year age group, and another eight in the 55-64 year
group. During the same three-year period 16 deaths were estimated in the
nonoccupational hospital-admitted pesticide poisonings among children
under 10 years.

SUMMARY
CHAPTER Y
Previous studies of pesticide poisonings in the United States were
largely confined to individual States or at Best a few States. Most
examined mortality but rarely considered morbidity. The present study by
the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) marks a significant
departure from this tradition: it is nationwide, and it considers morbidity
as well as mortality.
Selecting a stratified random sample of the Nation's 7000 general-care
hospitals, the Human Effects Monitoring Branch employed a statistically
reliable method for assessinq the seriousness of pesticide poisonings in 1971-
73. Authors of The National Hospital Study used the procedure described in
Chapter III to estimate the number of pesticide poisonings admitted to
general-care hospitals and the incidence rates per 100,000 hospital admissions
in the Nation, EPA regions, and each of the fifty states plus the District
of Columbia. Mortality rates were also developed for the United States and
for the EPA regions.
Nationally, the estimated numbers of hospital-admitted pesticide
poisonings in 1971, 1972, and 1973 were 2,596, 2,821, and 2,831, respectively.
The three-year total 0971-73) was estimated to be 8,248 hospital-admitted
pesticide poisonings.
Nationwide incidence rates ranged from 8.2 cases per 100,000 hospital
admissions in 1971 to 8.5 in 1973. For 1973, the standard deviation of the
incidence rate of 8.5 per 100,000 hospital admissions was 0.67; thus with
greater than 95 percent confidence the incidence rate of pesticide poisonings
due to all causes is between 7.8, and 9.2 cases per 100,000 admissions.
168
-------
Since all rates expressed in terms of 100,000 admissions change By less
than 1.4 cases each, year, it is doubtful that the rates differ significantly
from year to year.
Data clearly show that EPA Regions I, V, VII, and X witnessed increases
in the estimated numbers of pesticide poisonings and in the incidence rates
per 100,000 hospital admissions for such poisonings in 1971-73. Regions IV,
VI, and IX consistently maintained incidence rates greater than the average
rate for the ten regions. Regions I, II, V, VIII, and X had higher incidence
rates in 1973 than in 1971.
Nationally, the estimated numbers of pesticide poisonings admitted to
general-care hospitals as a result of occupational exposure increased from
811 in 1971 to 855 in 1973. Nonoccupational hospital-admitted pesticide
poisonings increased from 1,295 in 1971 to 1,446 in 1973; this omits
intentional poisonings. Incidence rates for pesticide poisonings per 100,000
hospital admissions in the occupationally exposed was estimated to be 2.5 in
1971, and remained at that figure in 1973. Region 'IV led all regions in
the estimated numbers of occupationally related pesticide poisonings in
1971, 1972, and 1973; respective totals were 332, 225, and 296. Region VI
had estimated incidence rates of 6.fi, 3.8 and 5.8 cases per 100,000 hospital
admissions in 1971, 1972, and 1973, respectively, leading all regions. It
is significant that during the three-year period only an estimated 28 percent
(2,295)of all pesticide poisonings admitted to hospitals were occupationally
related; of this group, fanners and agricultrual workers had the greatest
percentage of poisonings: 36 percent (8171.
Organophosphates were the most common cause of occupationally related
hosptial-admitted pesticide poisonings in 1971-73. Organophosphates were
responsible for 68 percent (1,570) of the poisonings; chlorinated hydro-
carbons were responsible for only 14 percent (321) during that period.
169
-------
Regions IV and VI had a large majority of the Nations occupationally
related pesticide poisonings admitted to hospitals in 1971-73. In 1971
the two regions had 77 percent of the Nation's occupationally related
organophosphate poisonigs, 59 percent of the chlorinated hydrocarbon
poisonings, 59 percent of the carBamate poisonings; and 100 percent of the
arsenicals. Corresponding percentages for Regions IV and VI in 1972 were:
organophosphates, 58 percent; chlorinated hydrocarbons, 70 percent; carbamates,
41 percent; and arsem'cals, 100 percent. In 1973, the same regions had 61
percent of the Nation's occupationally related organophosphate poisonings,
78 percent of the chlorinated hydrocarbon poisonings, and 74 percent of the
carbamate poisonings.
The data clearly show organophosphates are responsible for the greatest
share of the occupationally exposed pesticide poisonings; it is equally
clear that the percentage of involvement decreased from 1971 to 1973.
Nationally the estimated numbers of hospital-admitted pesticide
poisonings in 1971, 1972, and 1973 among children 0-4 years were 995, 1,231,
and 1,001, respectively. Incidence rates per 100,000 hosnital admissions
ranged from 3.0 in 1971 to 3.1 in 1973. Region V, with 284 estimated
hospital-admitted poisonings in children 0-4 years, and Region IX, with an
incidence rate of 5.9, were high among the regions in 1971. California, with
198 estimated hospital-admitted pesticide poisonings, and Delaware, with an
incidence rate of 36.5 were the highest among the States in 1971.
Region V had 309 estimated hospital-admitted pesticide poisonings among
children 0-4 years in 1972, and Regions III and IX had an estimated
incidence rate of 5.4; these were high among the (regions. California, with an
estimated 172 hospital-admitted pesticide poisonings, and the District of
Columbia, with an incidence rate of 66.1, were the highest among the States
in 1972.
170
-------
Region V had 286 estimated hospital-admitted pesticide poisonings
among children 0-4 years in 1973 and Region IX had an incidence rate of
7.3; these were high among the regions. California, with an estimated 238
hospital-admitted pesticide poisonings, and the District of Columbia, with
an incidence rate of 16.5 were highest among the States that year.
Because few deaths were associated with pesticide poisonings in 1971-73,
all observed deaths for the period have been grouped in order to estimate
statistically the magnitude of the problem throughout the Nation's general-
care hospitals. The estimated numbers of occupationally related hospital -
admitted pesticide poisoning deaths account for only 12 percent (24) of the
total 095) in 1971-73, but the estimated number of intentional deaths
make up more than 58 percent (114) of the hospital-admitted pesticide
poisoning deaths for the three-year period. Children less than ten years
of age comprised an estimated 8 percent (16) of the total pesticide-related
deaths. Only in Regions IV and VI did hospital-admitted persons die of
occupationally related pesticide poisonings.
As mentioned earlier, the National Hospital Study includes pesticide
poisonings only of those individuals who received hospitalization for the
poisonings. This excludes several categories: poisonings treated in
physicians offices instead of hospitals, emergency-room cases which did
no require not require hospitalization, and pesticide poisonings not
receiving medical treatment of any nature.
Hayes and Pirkle have noted that physicians sometimes attribute
pesticide illnesses and deaths to other causes (5). However, investigators
in the present study believe that the majority of poisonings attributed to
pesticides were correctly diagnosed due to hospital records of patients'
exposure, consistent clincial management and occasionally, laboratory
findings.
