这项研究估计了2000年尼加拉瓜农药监测系统中急性农药中毒(APP)的漏报水平。在对3,169名年龄在15岁及以上的人进行的具有全国代表性的横断面调查中,对农药接触和健康影响的数据进行了评估。作者在2000年的官方登记册中发现了1,369起APP案件。对问卷调查的答复显示,有22例APP患者寻求医疗照顾。这些案件大多涉及喷洒有机磷农药的农业工人,大多数是一类农药。在68%的病例中,治疗一次APP发作的平均自付费用为41美元,几乎相当于一个月的工资。22例中只有1例(
This study estimated the level of underreporting of acute pesticide poisonings (APP) in the pesticide surveillance system in Nicaragua in 2000.

The authors found 1,369 cases of APP in the official register for 2000. Responses to questionnaires revealed 22 cases of APP in which individuals sought medical attention. Most of these cases involved agricultural workers who spray organophosphate pesticides, mostly class I. In 68 percent of cases, the mean out-of-pocket cost for treatment of one APP episode was $41, almost equivalent to one month's salary. Only 1 of the 22 cases (
