The majority drowned during April, which is the summer season in Thailand. Among these patients, 28.8% required intubation, with the highest proportion found in the 6-&lt;12 years age group (35.9%). The independent risk factors for intubation were metabolic acidosis (adjusted odd ratio [aOR] 9.74; 95% confidence interval [CI] 7.14\u201313.29; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) and pulmonary edema (aOR 5.82; 95%CI 3.92\u20138.65; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). The overall mortality rate due to drowning was 12.6%.
