Childhood Drowning Deaths-National Analysis Of Death Cer

与消费者产品安全委员会（消费品安全委员会）合作，从所有与船只无关的20岁以下儿童和青少年溺水死亡的死亡证明中摘录了信息。死亡证明的自由文本部分通常包括国家死亡率档案中未包括的重要信息。特别重要的是发生溺水的具体地点（如游泳池、湖泊、灌溉渠等），因为预防溺水死亡的干预措施是具体地点的。这项研究的结果将首次深入了解全国溺水死亡的情况。1995年审查了1 420份死亡证明。在1308份（92%）死亡证明上指定了溺水地点。55%的婴儿溺水发生在浴缸里。在1-4岁的儿童中，56%的溺水发生在人工水池中，26%发生在其他淡水水体中。5岁以后的儿童最有可能在淡水环境中溺水，5-9岁、10-14岁和15-19岁的儿童分别占溺水事件的54%、61%和69%。研究结果发表在《儿科学》上。

Working in collaboration with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) information was 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. For 1995, 1,420 death certificates were reviewed. The site of drowning was specified on 1308 (92%) death certificates. Fifty-five percent of infant drownings were in bathtubs. In children ages 1-4 years, 56% of drownings were in artificial pools and 26% were in other bodies of freshwater. After the age of five years, children were most likely to drown in freshwater settings which accounted for 54%, 61% and 69% of drownings among 5-9, 10-14, and 15-19 year olds, respectively. Study results were published in Pediatrics.
