Abstract

Abstract The purpose of this study was to examine the demographic circumstances and the autopsy findings regarding drowning deaths autopsied at the Department of Forensic Medicine, University of Aarhus. The study is based on autopsy reports from the Department of Forensic Medicine in Aarhus, 2006-2015 with drowning as a cause of death. Among the 135 cases of the study, 87 (64.4%) were accidents versus 33 (24.4%) suicides. The study showed, that the majority of the drowned 73,3% were males, especially pronounced in the accidents (81.6% were males). In 60.7% victims, there was a positive blood alcohol analysis, most often in males. Females with positive alcohol analyses did however have the highest mean alcohol blood level (1.65 versus 1.47 per mile). The most frequent place of the submersions was docks (24.4%) and the most frequent time of day was in the evening (18.00 – 23.59; 19.3%) and at night (00.00 – 05.59; 20.0%). The study shows no significant connection between adipocere and type of water (OR=1.21, 95% CI (0.49;2.99), p=0.68), bulging lungs and type of water (OR=1.18, 95% CI (0.52;2.70), p=0.69), lung weight and type of water (z-test, p=0.38) and the amount of pleural effusion and water type (z-test, p=0.16). A significant connection between the presence of pleural effusion and type of water cannot discounted (OR=2.37, 95% CI (1.06;2.44), p=0.02).
溺水的情况和尸检结果,奥胡斯大学法医学系,2006-2015
摘要:本研究的目的是研究奥尔胡斯大学法医学系溺水死亡的人口统计学情况和尸检结果。这项研究基于奥胡斯法医部2006-2015年的尸检报告,死因是溺水。在该研究的135个案例中,87个(64.4%)是事故,33个(24.4%)是自杀。研究显示,溺亡者以男性居多,占73.3%,在意外事故中溺亡者尤甚(男性占81.6%)。在60.7%的受害者中,血液酒精分析呈阳性,大多数是男性。然而,酒精分析呈阳性的女性血液平均酒精含量最高(每英里1.65比1.47)。潜水最频繁的地点为码头(24.4%),最频繁的时间为傍晚(18.00 ~ 23.59);19.3%)和夜间(00.00 - 05.59;20.0%)。研究显示,脂肪与水类型(OR=1.21, 95% CI (0.49;2.99), p=0.68)、肺膨出与水类型(OR=1.18, 95% CI (0.52;2.70), p=0.69)、肺重量与水类型(z-test, p=0.38)、胸腔积液量与水类型(z-test, p=0.16)之间无显著相关性。胸腔积液的存在与水的类型之间有重要的联系(OR=2.37, 95% CI (1.06;2.44), p=0.02)。
