1 2010 ANNUAL REPORT This report provides an overview of the Maryland Poison Center experience during FROM THE DIRECTOR Greetings! Welcome the Maryland Poison Center 2010 Annual Report. This annual report represents the end of another decade of service for the Maryland Poison Center (MPC). It s interesting and instructive look back at where you ve been figure out where you are and how far you ve come. It is especially intriguing review and compare what s happening now with the past when the year Bruce Anderson ends in a zero. So, I thought it would be worthwhile compare the MPC s experiences in The year 2000 seems so quaint now, yet at the time it seemed sort of magical! People were worried that the computers we relied on would fail. The dot-com bubble was starting burst, the U.S. presidential election introduced a new phrase in popular language ( hanging chad ), and people were getting concerned about rising gas prices (average cost in the U.S. was up $ 1.70!). Things clearly have changed. Change can be seen in the data from the MPC in 2000 and % change Total call volume 57,306 62, Human exposures 35,270 35, Drug ID calls 5,527 17, While human exposure call volume has remained about the same, there has been a dramatic increase in drug identification calls managed by the MPC. This increase in drug ID requests mirrors the increase in misuse and abuse of prescription medications in the United States. The problem of prescription drug abuse is staggering. According the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were 2,901 unintentional drug deaths involving opioid analgesics in 1999 compared 11,499 in Additionally, there were nearly twice as many deaths in 2007 involving opioid analgesics than deaths involving cocaine, and more than five times as many as those involving heroin. And the problem is growing. Prescription medications are now the fourth most abused substances (behind bacco, alcohol, and marijuana). The MPC can help provide information on specific substances identified and from where those calls are coming. This information can be used in targeting substance abuse awareness and prevention efforts. Our staff of pharmacists and nurses have more than 160 years combined experience managing poisoning and overdose cases and continually update their training keep up with changes in the types of calls that come in the MPC. In addition, our geographic information specialist and statistician enable us analyze our data for research purposes and provide data other partners throughout the state. Our educars reach out health professionals and the public keep them informed of changing trends and of the services we offer. The makeup of the types of calls may change over time, but the mission of the MPC stays the same: we save lives and save dollars by providing emergency triage and treatment information for all callers. Bruce Anderson, PharmD, DABAT Direcr of Operations, Maryland Poison Center Associate Professor, Department of Pharmacy Practice and Science University of Maryland School of Pharmacy Saving lives, saving dollars is a simple way of stating what the Maryland Poison Center does every day. The mission of the Maryland Poison Center is decrease the cost and complexity of poisoning and overdose care while maintaining and/or improving patient outcomes. We are continuing work ward this mission by conducting research on the management of poisoning and overdose patients, through public education try prevent poisonings from occurring, by training health professionals (pharmacists, nurses, physicians, and paramedics) in the management of poisoning and overdose care, and by working with the public health infrastructure in Maryland help recognize poisoning challenges and working respond those challenges
2 In 2010, the Maryland Poison Center received 62,820 calls. While 35,895 of these calls (some from out of state) involved a human exposure, the remaining 26,925 were requests for information or involved animal poisonings. AGE 48.1 percent of poison exposures involved children under the age of 6 as shown in the diagram below. The data for counties is as accurate as possible given that some zip codes cross county boundaries. *Numbers for Montgomery and Prince George s counties reflect calls the MPC only. The number aumatically connects callers from these counties the National Capital Poison Center in Washingn, D.C. Some callers reach the MPC by dialing local telephone numbers still in service. Callers from unknown Maryland counties and from other states accounted for 5.3 percent of the human exposures in years 29.9% years 7.0% >60 years 7.3% 6-12 years 6.3% Unknown age 1.3% GENDER 47.5 percent of exposures occurred in males, and 52.3 percent in females (0.2 percent unknown). <6 years 48.1% SITE OF CALLER Most of the calls the MPC came from the patient s residence or another residence (71.2 percent). Some 19.8 percent of the callers were health care providers (hospital, docr s office, clinic, and others). In 4.5 percent of the cases, an emergency medical services provider (EMS, paramedics, first responders, emergency medical dispatcher) called the MPC for treatment information. Calls originating from teachers, students, and nurses in schools accounted for 1.8 percent of the calls in EMS Provider 4.5% Health care facility 19.8% Other/Unknown 2% Workplace 0.7% School/ School nurse 1.8% ANIMAL EXPOSURES In 2010, a tal of 1,981 potentially xic exposures in animals were reported. Residence 71.2% Our mission is decrease the cost and complexity of care while maintaining and/or improving patient outcomes. These data clearly show that we re meeting our mission. 2 2
3 Managed in HCF 26.4% Other/Unknown 1.3% Refused referral 1.2% Managed on-site/ non-hcf 71.1% CIRCUMSTANCE The people who contact the MPC do it for several reasons: Unintentional exposures in children and adults, occupational or environmental exposures, bites/stings, therapeutic errors, misuse of products, and food poisoning accounted for 76.5 percent of tal exposures. Therapeutic errors (doubledoses, wrong medicines taken, etc.) alone accounted for 13.1 percent of tal exposures. Intentional exposures, due misuse, abuse or suicide attempts, accounted for 18.5 percent of tal exposures. Adverse reaction drugs, food, and other substances accounted for 3.6 percent of tal exposures. Other/unknown reasons, including malicious or contaminant/ tampering, accounted for 1.5 percent of tal exposures. MPC SAFELY MANAGES PATIENTS AT HOME In 2010, 71.1 percent of all poisoning cases were safely managed at home (site of exposure), which saves millions of dollars in unnecessary health care costs compared with managing patients in a health care facility (HCF). It also allows more efficient and effective use of limited health care resources. Calling the MPC helps save lives and save dollars! Intentional 18.5% Adverse reaction 3.6% Other/Unknown 1.5% Unintentional 76.5% Moderate effect 5.5% Major effect 0.6% Death 0.1% Other/Unknown 4.2% No effect 31.3% OUTCOMES The true measure of the effectiveness of the MPC program is in patient outcomes. Although there were 35 cases reported MPC that resulted in death (0.1 percent) in 2010, the impact of the MPC is obvious: few cases had poor outcomes. Some 89.7 percent of cases resulted in (or were expected result in) no effects or minor effects. For all exposures, prompt attention is the best way reduce the likelihood of developing severe xicity. Minor effect 58.4% ROUTE OF EXPOSURE The most common way that patients in Maryland were exposed xins was by ingestion. This includes cases of children putting substances in their mouths, patients mistakenly ingesting someone else s medicine, people accidentally brushing their teeth with a product intended for pical use, etc. The dermal route was the next most common means of exposure. Some cases involved multiple routes of exposure. *Percentages in the chart are based on the tal number of human exposures. Dermal 9.3% Ocular 4.9% Inhalation 4.6% Bite/Sting 1.2% Other 1.5% Ingestion 85.0% 3 3
4 SUBSTANCES INVOLVED IN POISONINGS The tables below list the most common substances involved in poisonings and overdoses reported the MPC in Some 71.8 percent of the poisoning and overdose calls the MPC involved a drug, while 50.0 percent of calls involved a non-drug substance. A patient may be exposed more than one substance in a poisoning or overdose case. *Percentages in the tables are based on the tal number of human exposures.

5 Outreach, education, and research are key elements of the MPC s services. In 2010, the MPC led 127 education programs and events for public and health professional groups, attended by more than 10,100 people. Educational materials were distributed throughout Maryland at programs, health fairs, and by community organizations. PUBLIC AND PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION 2010 The MPC is well known for being an emergency telephone service that helps those who have been poisoned, including unintentional poisonings in small children, exposures household products, occupational exposures, and intentional overdoses. But did you know that the MPC also educates thousands of people each year about poisonings and overdoses? Our public education efforts are intended help increase the awareness of the poisons that are found in every home, business, and school, and help prevent poisonings from occurring. The MPC also strives make sure that everyone knows that they can quickly and easily get information by contacting the MPC, 24/7, if a poisoning occurs. In 2010, the MPC provided speakers and/or materials for 103 programs in 18 Maryland counties, Baltimore City, and Washingn, D.C. The programs and events staffed by the MPC were attended by more than 5,800 people. Several organizations partnered with the MPC provide education their patients, cusmers, clients, and students. These organizations included fire departments, police departments, hospitals, health departments, schools, child care agencies, pharmacies, hospital perinatal education programs, CPR instrucrs, parish nurses, Red Cross, and Head Start and Healthy Start programs. In all, more than 58,000 pieces of educational materials (brochures, magnets, telephone stickers, Mr. Yuk stickers, teacher s kits, and other pieces) were distributed at these programs and by these organizations. Approximately 135,000 additional materials were mailed people and groups who requested them. The MPC provided training for 135 school nurses in Cecil and Frederick counties in Overall, 16 county school systems and day care centers used educational materials from the MPC in their classrooms. All ld, more than 24,000 pieces of educational materials were used in or handed out in schools throughout Maryland. National Poison Prevention Week (March 21-27, 2010) activities included mailings emergency departments and pharmacies throughout the state. A Poison Prevention Week poster contest for public schools in Washingn County was co-sponsored by the MPC and SafeKids Washingn County. The grand-prize winning poster has been used throughout the state promote poison safety. The MPC is also an important resource for the media. Poison center staff are often interviewed by television, radio, and print media for their expertise in poison-related sries. Professional education is targeted ward the special needs of health professionals. Programs and materials are designed help the clinician better manage poisoning and overdose cases that end up ixn a health care facility. In 2010, 68 programs were conducted by MPC staff at hospitals, fire departments, colleges, professional conferences (state, re gional, and national) and through webinars. These programs were attended by more than 4,300 physicians, nurses, EMS providers, pharmacists, physician assistants, and others. In 2010, monthly podcasts were recorded for broadcast on two websites devoted continuing education for health care providers: MedicCast.com and NursingShow.com.
