RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To study the delayed effect on neuropsychopathy and its related factors after acute organophosphorus pesticides poisoning (AOPP). METHODS: Two hundred and fifty-seven cases of AOPP in the observation period were chosen to follow-up 2 months later from the 4 county hospitals in Shandong Province where the incidence of organophosphorus pesticide poisoning is high. RESULTS: Nine cases of organophosphate induced delayed polyneuropathy (OPIDP) were found and the incidence rate was 3.5%. The occurrence of OPIDP were related to the need for emergent artificial respiration, and the degree of poisoning, and the kinds of organophosphorus pesticides (Ops). The positive rate of symptoms of peripheral nerves, central nerves and psychogeny except auditory and visual hallucination after poisoning was significantly higher than that before (P < 0.05). The patient's situation of health, economy and work became statistically worse (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: We found some had delayed effects on neuropsychopathy after AOPP which could debase the patient's life quality. The control measure should be administered as early as possible.
