Syndromic surveillance data from ED chief complaints were collected and analyzed from Ohio's syndromic surveillance application, EpiCenter for 2010Á2011. Because the term bath salts refers to a grouping of drugs, and the effects of ingestion or inhalation of these drugs can vary widely, a specific classifier was created to define ED visits related to bath salts. This classifier included many variations of the common street names for bath salts. Human exposure calls to the PCCs in Ohio related to use of bath salts were also collected and analyzed from the National Poison Data System (NPDS) during the same time period. These data were combined and a correlation analysis was performed, using SAS v 9.2 to evaluate the relationship between the two data types and to illustrate the trends in designer drug use for bath salts. Due to small daily counts of both ED visits and PCC exposure calls, the data were totaled by month for all time-series and correlation analyses.
