“…This is in similarity to previous studies done across all age groups where they reported a mortality rate of 10.1% (1990-2008) and 9.5% (in 2013). 17,19 Age group <5 years was associated with mortality in our study. Similarly, Nasrullah et al 20 reported a 15.4% mortality in the under 5 age range during the years 1999 to 2006.…”

We sought to examine incidence and mortality trends of drowning-related hospitalizations in children aged <20 years and to study the presence of risk factors associated with in-hospital mortality. Retrospective analysis of the 2003-2016 Health Care Cost and Utilization Project National Inpatient Sample and Kids’ Inpatient Database was performed. The estimated annual incidence rate of drowning hospitalizations declined 31.5% from 2.73 to 1.87 per 100 000 population. Most drowning-related hospitalizations were seen in <5-year-old children (66.4%) and in males (65.3%), Caucasians (41.7%), and public insurance (46%). In-hospital mortality declined 46% from an estimated 290 deaths in 2003 to 156 deaths in 2016. On multivariate analysis, age <5 years, Caucasian ethnicity, uninsured status, pool/bathtub or undetermined location, arrhythmia (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.3, P = .001), acute kidney injury (aOR = 3.4, P < .001), cerebral edema (aOR = 2.8, P < .001), cardiopulmonary resuscitation (aOR = 12.1, P < .001), and invasive mechanical ventilation (aOR = 28.4, P < .001) were found to be independent predictors of mortality.

Los atrapamientos de bañistas en las instalaciones de las piscinas son uno de los tipos de sucesos lesivos reconocidos a nivel mundial por sus trágicas consecuencias. Se realizó un estudio de la legislación sanitaria de piscinas con emplazamiento en la población española. Examinamos los parámetros normativos previstos en los reglamentos autonómicos de piscinas para el abordaje del riesgo de atrapamiento. Ninguna de las Comunidades Autónomas establece medidas de seguridad frente a las cinco modalidades de atrapamientos reconocidas, obviando las de tipo mecánico, extremidades y cabello. Encontramos 9 reglamentos con más de 15 años de antigüedad. Se identificó una falta de especificaciones técnicas sobre medidas de seguridad para cumplir con garantías las prescripciones normativas. Los reglamentos de piscinas analizados muestran una gran disparidad normativa en sus estrategias de protección de la seguridad de los bañistas, con medidas preventivas desiguales y un grado de fiabilidad cuestionable.
