The national lockdowns that occurred all over the world in response to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic have been found to have impacted alcohol use. The aim was to evaluate the impact of COVID-19-related national lockdowns on alcohol-related traffic collisions, injuries, and fatalities in Lithuania.
Using monthly data from the Lithuanian Road Police Service for January 2004 to December 2022, we performed interrupted time-series analyses using a generalized additive model to evaluate the impact of COVID-19-related national lockdowns on alcohol-related traffic collisions, injuries, and fatalities. In Lithuania, the COVID-19-related lockdowns occurred from March 2020 to June 2020 and from November 2020 to June 2021.
Although overall rates for traffic collisions and injuries decreased during the COVID-19-related lockdowns in Lithuania, these lockdowns were associated with a 3.21% (95% CI: 1.19%, 5.23%) increase in the relative proportion of alcohol-related traffic collisions and a 2.46% (95% CI: 0.12%, 4.80%) increase in the relative proportion of alcohol-related traffic injuries. The association between the lockdowns and alcohol-related traffic fatalities was not statistically significant.
The COVID-19-related national lockdowns in Lithuania were associated with a decrease in the overall rate of traffic collisions and injuries, but an increase in the relative proportion of alcohol-related traffic collisions and injuries.
已发现全球范围内为应对2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行而实施的全国封锁对酒精使用产生了影响。目的是评估与COVID-19相关的全国封锁对立陶宛酒精相关交通碰撞、伤害和死亡的影响。
利用立陶宛道路警察局2004年1月至2022年12月的月度数据，我们使用广义相加模型进行中断时间序列分析，以评估与COVID-19相关的全国封锁对酒精相关交通碰撞、伤害和死亡的影响。在立陶宛，与COVID-19相关的封锁发生在2020年3月至2020年6月以及2020年11月至2021年6月。
尽管在立陶宛与COVID-19相关的封锁期间，交通碰撞和伤害的总体发生率有所下降，但这些封锁与酒精相关交通碰撞的相对比例增加3.21%（95%置信区间：1.19%，5.23%）以及酒精相关交通伤害的相对比例增加2.46%（95%置信区间：0.12%，4.80%）有关。封锁与酒精相关交通死亡之间的关联无统计学意义。
立陶宛与COVID-19相关的全国封锁与交通碰撞和伤害的总体发生率下降有关，但与酒精相关交通碰撞和伤害的相对比例增加有关。
