CHILDHOOD DROWNING DEATHS--NATIONAL ANALYSIS OF DEATH CERTIFICATE INFORMATION

与消费品安全委员会(CPSC)合作，正在从所有20岁以下儿童和青少年的非船只溺水死亡的死亡证明中提取信息。死亡证明的自由文本部分通常包括国家死亡档案中没有的重要信息。特别重要的是发生溺水的具体地点(如游泳池、湖泊、灌溉沟等)，因为防止溺水死亡的干预措施因地点而异。这项研究的结果将首次深入了解国家一级溺水死亡的情况。在1999年5月的儿科研究学会会议上介绍了初步结果。-溺水、童年、流行病学

Working in collaboration with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) information is being abstracted from death certificates for all non-boat related drowning deaths in children and adolescents less than 20 years of age. The free text portion of the death certificate often includes important information that is not included in national mortality files. Of particular importance is the specific site of the occurrence (e.g. swimming pool, lake, irrigation ditch, etc.), as interventions to prevent drowning deaths are site specific. Results from this study will provide the first in-depth look at the circumstances surrounding drowning deaths at a national level. Preliminary results were presented at the May 1999 meeting of the Society for Pediatric Research. - drowning, childhood, epidemiology
