Global age-sex-specific mortality, life expectancy, and population estimates in...
Schumacher, AE; Kyu, HH; Aali, A; Abbafati, C; Abbas, J; Abbasgholizadeh, R; Abbasi, MA; Abbasian, M; Abd ElHafeez, S; Abdelmasseh, M; Abd Elsalam, SBackground: Estimates of demographic metrics are crucial to assess levels and trends of population health outcomes. The profound impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on populations worldwide has underscored the need for timely estimates to understand this unprecedented event within the context of long-term population health trends. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2021 provides n...
A 2-year prospective evaluation of airway clearance devices in foreign body air...
Dunne, CL; Viguers, K; Osman, S; Queiroga, AC; Szpilman, D; Peden, AEAim: To collect, analyze and report the first prospective, industry-independent, data on airway clearance devices as novel foreign body airway obstruction interventions. Methods: We recruited adult airway clearance device users between July 1, 2021 and June 30, 2023 using a centralized website and email follow-up. The data collection tool captured patient, responder, situation, and outcome variables. Multi-step...
Trends in drowning mortality in Portugal from 1992 to 2019: comparing Global Bu...
Queiroga, AC; Seabra, R; Franklin, RC; Peden, AEIntroduction Imprecise data systems hinder understanding of drowning burden, even in high-income countries like Portugal, that have a well-implemented death certificate system. Consequently, national studies on drowning mortality are scarce. We aimed to explore drowning mortality in Portugal using national data and to compare these to Global Burden of Disease (GBD) estimates. Methods Data were obtained from the...

Phase One of a Global Evaluation of Suction-Based Airway Clearance Devices in F...
Dunne, CL; Osman, S; Viguers, K; Queiroga, AC; Szpilman, D; Peden, AEBackground: Choking is a prevalent source of injury and mortality worldwide. Traditional choking interventions, including abdominal thrusts and back blows, have remained the standard of care for decades despite limited published data. Suction-based airway clearance devices (ACDs) are becoming increasingly popular and there is an urgent need to evaluate their role in choking intervention. The aim of this study w...
Drowning risk and climate change: a state-of-the-art review
Sindall, R; Mecrow, T; Queiroga, AC; Boyer, C; Koon, W; Peden, AEDrowning and climate change are both significant global health threats, yet little research links climate change to drowning risk. Research into the epidemiology, risk factors and preventive strategies for unintentional drowning in high-income and in low-income and middle-income countries has expanded understanding, but understanding of disaster and extreme weather-related drowning needs research focus. As nati...
Drowning and aquatic injuries dictionary
Szpilman, D; Palacios Aguilar, J; Barcala-Furelos, R; Baker, S; Dunne, C; Peden, AE; Brander, R; Claesson, A; Avramidis, S; Leavy, J; Luckhaus, JLBackground: Drowning is a significant public health issue with more than 320,000 deaths globally every year. These numbers are greatly underestimated, however, due to factors such as inadequate data collection, inconsistent categorization and failure to report in certain regions and cultures.The objective of this study was to develop a standardised drowning dictionary using a consensus-based approach. Through c...

A Systematic Review on the Effectiveness of Anti-Choking Suction Devices and Id...
Dunne, CL; Peden, AE; Queiroga, AC; Gomez Gonzalez, C; Valesco, B; Szpilman, DAim. Despite an obstructed airway (choking) being a relatively preventable injury, it has a considerable mortality burden globally, with increasing incidence. Given new technologies in choking management, this systematic review aimed to assess current literature on the effectiveness of anti-choking suction devices at relieving obstructions. Methods.

The association between school holidays and unintentional fatal drowning among ...
Peden, AE; Barnsley, PD; Queiroga, ACAim Children aged 5–17 years in Australia have one of the lowest unintentional fatal drowning rates. One possible explanation is the protective effect of formal schooling, reducing leisure time for exposure to water hazards. We examine differences in frequency and circumstances of drowning deaths in this age group between school holidays and school days in Australia. Methods A total population survey (2005–2014...
