The role of accidental hypothermia in drowning patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: A nationwide registry-based cohort study
Hypothermic drowning patients with OHCA had a higher risk of mortality or poor neurological outcome at 180 days compared to normothermic drowning patients with OHCA. This association may likely be explained by confounding factors such as prolonged submersion and cardiac arrest. Further research is warranted.
