During a recent 12-month period, a group of patients injured from causes other than road accidents were studied. Twenty-four patients with no evidence of alcohol impairment served as controls for another group of 24 patients with a blood alcohol concentration of greater than 100 mg%. Examination of public records revealed that the alcohol-impaired group had committed more serious traffic violations, including reckless driving, crashes causing bodily injury, and property damage. Eleven of the 24 alcohol-impaired subjects had a total of 18 previous citations for driving under the influence of alcohol while there were none in the control group (P less than 0.001). Alcohol-related non-vehicular trauma is highly predictive of alcohol-impaired driving behaviour.
在最近为期12个月的时间段内,对一群非道路交通事故致伤的患者进行了研究。24名无酒精损害证据的患者作为另一组24名血液酒精浓度大于100mg%的患者的对照。对公共记录的检查显示,酒精损害组有更多严重的交通违规行为,包括鲁莽驾驶、造成身体伤害的撞车事故和财产损失。24名酒精损害受试者中有11人此前因酒后驾车共被开了18张罚单,而对照组则无一人有此类情况(P小于0.001)。与酒精相关的非车辆创伤高度预示着酒精损害驾驶行为。
