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.
