The author examined Michigan Alcohol Screening Test (MAST) scores and selected laboratory results of 50 patients encountered in a family physician's office. The severity of alcohol-related problems (as reflected by the MAST) was compared to the toxic effects of alcohol (as measured by the SGOT, γ-glutamyltransferase levels, and the mean cell volume). No association was found between the MAST scores and the cellular toxic effect of alcohol. Patients with extensive alcohol-related problems were more likely to report prolonged sobriety. These results suggest that testing with both MAST and laboratory tests is required to discover the effects of alcohol abuse in ambulatory patients.
作者检查了50名在家庭医生诊所就诊患者的密歇根酒精筛查测试(MAST)得分以及选定的实验室检查结果。将与酒精相关问题的严重程度(由MAST反映)与酒精的毒性作用(通过谷草转氨酶、γ-谷氨酰转移酶水平和平均红细胞体积测量)进行了比较。未发现MAST得分与酒精的细胞毒性作用之间存在关联。有广泛酒精相关问题的患者更有可能报告戒酒时间延长。这些结果表明,需要同时使用MAST和实验室检查来发现门诊患者中酒精滥用的影响。
