Drowning Clinical Trial
— DROWN_CODOfficial title:
Primary or Secondary Fatal Drowning? A Registry-based Study Analysing Autopsy Reports From Patients Registered in the Danish Prehospital Drowning Data
According to WHO's rules, any death certificate must state the underlying cause of death and contributory causes of death may also be stated. Differentiating between primary and secondary drowning is difficult, as information preceding the drowning incident is rarely available. Yet, knowing the most frequent causes of secondary drowning may provide useful information to healthcare professionals working in prehospital Emergency Medical Services, as this may affect prehospital treatment.
