Abstract:
This dataset contains records of unintentional carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning inpatient hospitalizations and CO mortality among Oregon residents. These are categorized as fire-related, non-fire-related and of unknown cause. CO poisoning hospitalizations are based on discharge disagnosis coding (ICD9-CM) of primary and all secondary diagnoses. Mortality records are for cases in which the cause of death listed on the death certificate is CO poisoning. |

The purpose of the Oregon EPHT Program is to provide scientific information from a web-based network of hazard, exposure, and health effect data to support actions that improve the health of communities. By bringing together, and standardizing, local, state, and national data sources of environmental and health information, scientists, policymakers, and the public will be able to more effectively address fundamental questions about relationships between environmental exposures and health effects. The Oregon EPHT Program is part of a National EPHT Network sponsored by the CDC. The Oregon EPHT Program resides in the Research & Education Section of the Office of Environmental Public Heath (OEPH) which is in the Public Health Division of the Oregon Health Authority.
The Oregon Environmental Public Health Tracking (EPHT) Program obtains calendar year inpatient hospitalization discharge data annually through an agreement between the Oregon Association of Hospitals and Health Systems (OAHHS) and the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) Office for Oregon Health Policy and Research (OHPR) Research & Data Unit. Mortality data are obtained from the Oregon Public Health Division Center for Health Statistics (CHS). Population data used in calculating the indicators are annual estimates obtained from the U.S. Census Bureau.
