  • Drowning is a significant cause of childhood death. It is estimated that in 1998 almost half a million deaths worldwide were caused by drowning, 57% of which were among children aged up to 14 years. A recent study by Sibert et al identified a significant decline in the incidence of childhood drowning in the United Kingdom between 1988 to 1989 and 1998 to 1999. The study used multiple data sources to identify circumstances surrounding deaths due to drowning. Infants are most likely to drown in the home (usually in a bathtub); toddlers in bodies of water close to the home such as swimming pools or ponds; and older children in natural bodies of water such as lakes and rivers, generally located away from the home. Although data from developing countries are sparse, developmental capabilities of children are likely to lead to comparable patterns. For example, in Guadalajara, Mexico, 60% of drowning incidents among children aged 1-4 years were in underground cisterns - a structure located close to the home. (Quotes from original text)
