dc.description.abstractIn this study, sociodemographic, laboratory and clinical features of cases of organic phosphorus (OP) intoxication in our region were aimed to investigate. In our study, patients of OP intoxication admitted to Emergency Service of Dicle University Medical Faculty Hospital between May and August 1998 were evaluated. Present prospective cohort study included 5 male and 19 female consecutive patients. Five cases due to accidental, however 19 cases due to suicidal goal. Mean age of cases was 24±11 years old; 54.2 % of them were under age of 20 years old and 83.3 % of them were under age of 30 years old. Female/male ratio was found as 3.8/1. The cases of suicidal purposeful intoxications were mostly determined as single (58.4, p<0.05). The most of cases had a primary education levels (16, 66.7 %), and cases had mostly lower socioeconomic status (14, 58.3 %). 79.2 % of cases admitted to our emergency service have received atropine in primary health care centers. In emergency service, pralidoxim (PAM) were performed to only 29.2 % of cases. According to ECG examination, tachycardia (14, 58.3 %), ST changes (13, 54.2 %), and T changes (3, 12.5 %) were mostly seen; bradicardia and serious ventricular arrhythmias weren't seen any case. Cases who received atropine plus PAM had higher rate of arrhythmias, but not found statistically significance (p>0.05). According to biochemical examination, the mostly observed features of cases were hypopotassemia (8 cases), hyponatremia (4 cases) and leukocytosis (21 cases), respectively. Other biochemical features were not evidently altered. In present cases, the most seen symptoms and findings were vomiting (18, % 75), fainting (17, % 70.8), tachycardia and dozing off (14, % 58.3), respectively. As a conclusion: 1. In our cases, serious ventricular arrhythmias weren't determined, and 2. In our region, OP intoxications especially affected to young single girls, and most of them resulted from suicidal purpose.en_US
