California hospital discharge data for 1991 were examined to describe persons hospitalized for near drownings (i.e., a submersion incident for which the victim was admitted to a hospital). Among residents with near-drowning injuries, there were 865 discharges, regardless of outcome (rate = 2.8/100,000); 785 persons survived the hospitalization, and 80 (9%) did not. Swimming pools were the most common submersion site (62%). Highest rates per 100,000 were found among males (3.6), Blacks (3.6), and children 1 through 5 years old (18.4). Charges for the initial hospitalization (excluding physicians' fees) amounted to $11.4 million. The state government's share of these charges was $5.4 million, with Medi-Cal expected to pay $4.1 million. Blacks, males, Medi-Cal recipients, and young children are most at risk and should be targeted for prevention programs.
对1991年加利福尼亚州医院出院数据进行了研究，以描述因近乎溺水（即受害者因溺水事件入院）而住院的人员情况。在遭受近乎溺水伤害的居民中，共有865例出院病例，无论结果如何（发生率为2.8/10万）；785人住院后存活，80人（9%）死亡。游泳池是最常见的溺水地点（62%）。每10万人中发生率最高的是男性（3.6）、黑人（3.6）以及1至5岁的儿童（18.4）。首次住院费用（不包括医生费用）总计1140万美元。州政府承担的这些费用为540万美元，预计医疗补助计划将支付410万美元。黑人、男性、医疗补助计划受益人和幼儿面临的风险最大，应成为预防项目的目标人群。
