In an effort to define the role that substance abuse has to play in head injuries, a prospective study of 204 patients presenting to the Accident and Emergency (A&E) Department over a 10-week period was carried out. Urine samples were collected and assayed for the presence of common drugs of abuse and alcohol. One or other substance (drugs or alcohol) was detected in 43% of patients. The association between alcohol and head injuries has been confirmed and the importance of drugs in this area has been addressed and found to be of some significance. More rapid and accurate methods of assaying these substances may improve our management of head injury patients.
为了明确药物滥用在头部损伤中所起的作用，我们对在10周内到急诊部就诊的204例患者进行了一项前瞻性研究。收集尿液样本并检测常见滥用药物和酒精的存在情况。在43%的患者中检测到一种或另一种物质（药物或酒精）。酒精与头部损伤之间的关联已得到证实，并且药物在这方面的重要性也已得到探讨并发现具有一定意义。更快速、准确的这些物质检测方法可能会改善我们对头部损伤患者的治疗。
