During a six-month period, blood was drawn from 615 traumatized patients for alcohol determination and general toxicology screen. The patients were divided into four groups: alcohol only, other drugs only, alcohol and other drugs, and no alcohol or other drugs. Each group was analyzed for severity of injury, length of hospitalization, complications, and mortality. In 362 patients (58.9%) we found alcohol in the blood; 74% had alcohol levels greater than 100 mg/dL. Twenty patients (3.3%) had other drugs, while 34 patients (5.5%) had both alcohol and other drugs. There were no differences between the groups except that the patients with drugs only had a significantly higher incidence of shock, severity of injury, and mortality.
在六个月的时间里，从615名创伤患者身上采集血液进行酒精检测和一般毒理学筛查。患者被分为四组：仅酒精阳性、仅其他药物阳性、酒精和其他药物均阳性、酒精和其他药物均阴性。对每组患者的损伤严重程度、住院时间、并发症和死亡率进行了分析。在362名患者（58.9%）的血液中检测到酒精；74%的患者酒精水平高于100mg/dL。20名患者（3.3%）检测出其他药物阳性，34名患者（5.5%）酒精和其他药物均呈阳性。除了仅使用药物的患者休克发生率、损伤严重程度和死亡率显著较高外，各组之间没有差异。
