Using nationwide data from the prehospital electronic health records from 2016 to 2023, this registry-based cohort study aims to establish a nationwide epidemiological profile of non-fatal and fatal drowning patients in Denmark in adherence with the Utstein Style For Drowning (USFD) recommended guidelines for uniform reporting of data from drowning. This includes reporting the annual incidence rates per 100,000 person-years, assessing the associations between predefined prognostic variables and 30-day survival, and reporting the spatial distribution of drowning incidents presented on a map of Denmark.
