Drowning Clinical Trial
— DROWN_HARBOROfficial title:
Fatal and Non-fatal Drowning Incidents in Danish Harbours: a Nationwide Registry-based Study Using the Danish Prehospital Drowning Data From 2016-2023
A recent study reported significantly increased mortality from drowning-related out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Danish harbours compared to other public places (e.g., public pools, coastlines, and lakes). Accurate and reliable data are necessary before establishing specific educational, preventative, rescue, or treatment strategies to reduce the number of drowning incidents in Danish harbours and improve survival. Therefore, it is essential to characterise drowning incidents in Danish harbours and analyse risk factors associated with fatal drowning.
