Sponsored by Prehospital Center, Region Zealand · Observational
This nationwide, registry-based study aims to link Danish Prehospital Drowning Data data with inhospital data to develop a Utstein-style Danish Drowning Registry. This study will report mortality and neurological outcomes 30 days after a drowning incident since 2016.
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to establish recommendations towards specific educational, preventative, rescue, or treatment strategies to reduce the number of fatal and non-fatal drowning incidents in Denmark (e.g., campaigns targeting high-risk groups, or fencing, allocating rescue equipment, or establishing lifeguard stations in high-risk areas).
Objectives
The primary objective is to estimate 30-day mortality of drowning incidents in Denmark treated by the Emergency Medical Services from 2016. The secondary objective is to explore risk factors associated with 30-day mortality.
Study design
A nationwide registry-based study linking data from the Danish Prehospital Drowning Data with data from the inhospital electronic medical records. from 2016 and follow-up on mortality 30 days after the drowning incident. Neurological outcomes will be assessed by trained observers through the inhospital electronic medical records.
21 studies on the registry are indexed under Drowning; 6 are open to participants now.
