Tse R, et al. - In order to assess their accuracy in diagnosing drowning, researchers assessed lung weight, lung-heart ratio (LH), and lung-body ratio (LB) among 50 consecutive drowning and 50 nonimmersion deaths. In drowning deaths, both LH and LB were statistically higher, with LB being the most robust measurement. The overall diagnostic accuracies of lung weight, LH, and LB were recommended to be used only in conjunction with the other diagnostic criteria, as the overall diagnostic accuracies of these tools were poor to fair.
