Resumo

O afogamento é a causa de aproximadamente 4.000 mortes nos EUA a cada ano e afeta desproporcionalmente alguns grupos etários, raciais e étnicos. As perturbações nas infraestruturas durante a pandemia de COVID-19, incluindo o acesso limitado a ambientes de natação supervisionados, podem ter afetado as taxas e o risco de afogamento. Os dados sobre os fatores que contribuem para o risco de afogamento são limitados. Para avaliar o impacto potencial da pandemia nas taxas de mortalidade por afogamento, foram comparadas as taxas pré e pós-pandemia de COVID-19.
