The Danish Drowning Cohort: Utstein-style data from fatal and non-fatal drowning incidents in Denmark.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Effective interventions to reduce drowning incidents require accurate and reliable data for scientific analysis. However, the lack of high-quality evidence and the variability in drowning terminology, definitions, and outcomes present significant challenges in assessing studies to inform drowning guidelines. Many drowning reports use inappropriate classifications for drowning incidents, which significantly contributes to the underreporting of drowning. In particular, non-fatal drowning incidents are underreported because many countries do not routinely collect this data.

The danish drowning cohort

The Danish Drowning Cohort was established in 2016 to facilitate research to improve preventative, rescue, and treatment interventions to reduce the incidence, mortality
