The article analyses death cases with detected blood alcohol level ≥2 g/kg. Their contribution to general mortality is calculated.
Death cases from 2005 to 2012 with detected blood alcohol concentration ≥2 g/kg (975 cases) were selected from autopsy records at the Department of Forensic Medicine and Medical Expertises of the Jessenius Faculty of Medicine in Martin. The selected cases were analysed by age and causes of death (pathological, fatal alcohol intoxication, other external causes). Their contribution to general mortality was calculated using official demographic data.
Deaths associated with heavy alcohol use comprised 2.2 % of general mortality in males and 0.3 % in females and showed declining trend. The proportion was highest in males aged up to 39 years (10.3 %). External causes dominated among death cases associated with heavy alcohol use (90.8 % in males, 83.7 % in females).
Deaths associated with heavy alcohol use significantly contribute to general mortality, particularly in younger males. In spite of the trend indicating slight improvement of the situation, this specific part of alcohol-related problems still constitutes a significant public health issue.
本文分析了血液酒精水平检测值≥2g/kg 的死亡案例，计算了其对总死亡率的贡献。
从马丁耶什琴斯第二医科大学法医学和医学鉴定系的尸检记录中，选取了 2005 年至 2012 年血液酒精浓度检测值≥2g/kg（975 例）的死亡案例。通过年龄和死因（病理性、致命性酒精中毒、其他外部原因）对这些案例进行了分析。使用官方人口统计数据计算了其对总死亡率的贡献。
与重度饮酒相关的死亡占男性总死亡率的 2.2%，占女性总死亡率的 0.3%，呈下降趋势。在年龄不超过 39 岁的男性中比例最高（10.3%）。与重度饮酒相关的死亡案例中，外部原因占主导地位（男性占 90.8%，女性占 83.7%）。
与重度饮酒相关的死亡对总死亡率有显著影响，尤其是在年轻男性中。尽管趋势表明情况略有改善，但这一特定的酒精相关问题仍然是一个重大的公共卫生问题。
