Area of Science:

  • Emergency Medicine
  • Marine Biology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Rising human-animal interactions lead to increased injuries.
  • Canine bites are common, but data on other animal injuries, especially marine life, is limited.
  • The last comprehensive report on non-canine bites/stings in US emergency departments (EDs) was from 2011-2015.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To update data on the volume and primary causes of marine-related injuries treated in US hospital EDs.
  • To identify the most frequent marine species responsible for these injuries.
  • To analyze injury patterns including location and seasonality.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of marine injury data from 2014-2019.
  • Utilized de-identified data from a large hospital network (over 180 hospitals).
  • Descriptive analysis of 4092 adult patients treated in emergency departments (EDs).

Main Results:

  • Stingrays (29.23%), catfish (23.8%), jellyfish (10.3%), and other fish (13.2%) were the leading causes of injury.
  • Injuries most commonly affected the foot (35.4%) and hand (28.9%).
  • The highest incidence of injuries occurred during the second (31.5%) and third (42.5%) quarters of the year.

Conclusions:

  • The majority of marine-related ED injuries are caused by stingrays, jellyfish, and catfish.
  • Injuries predominantly affect extremities (hands and feet).
  • Peak injury season is during the summer months.
