Fergusson 1984.
Methods | Case control study using probabilities from previous studies. | |
Participants | Sixty pool drownings for which pool fencing type was known. | |
Interventions | Fencing was not specifically defined as three or four sides; type of gate not specified. | |
Outcomes | Risk of drowning in fenced and unfenced pool and attributable risk percent calculated using Bayes Theorem. | |
Notes | Quality of previous studies used to obtain estimates of pool fencing is unknown. Small numbers thus unstable risk estimates. |
