Given that this type of injury outcome offers an opportunity to understand the determinants of severe morbidity, we systematically assessed the available information concerning the epidemiology of US snakebite related mortality.

Methods: We searched the CDC Wonder database of vital statistics for detailed demographic and circumstantial ...
