We reviewed records of adult patients admitted to our burn unit who were reported to abuse drugs or alcohol from 1985 to 1988. The proportion of patients reported as abusing drugs increased significantly from 1987 to 1988, compared to previous years. However, there was no increase in the proportion of patients reported to abuse alcohol. Patients identified as abusing drugs had longer hospital stays, compared to patients who were not reported to abuse substances. Methamphetamine and cocaine were the drugs most often abused by patients who abused drugs or both drugs and alcohol. Mechanisms of burn injury in these patients included "accidental" burn injury related to acute intoxication, and self-injury due to psychosis or depression.
我们回顾了1985年至1988年期间入住我们烧伤科的成年患者记录，这些患者被报告存在药物或酒精滥用问题。与前几年相比，1987年至1988年期间报告有药物滥用问题的患者比例显著增加。然而，报告有酒精滥用问题的患者比例没有增加。与未报告有物质滥用问题的患者相比，被确定有药物滥用问题的患者住院时间更长。甲基苯丙胺和可卡因是滥用药物或同时滥用药物和酒精的患者最常滥用的药物。这些患者的烧伤机制包括与急性中毒相关的“意外”烧伤，以及因精神病或抑郁症导致的自我伤害。
