We performed a multicenter case-control study to estimate whether chronic alcoholism and alcohol consumption are risk factors for developing a first generalized tonic-clonic seizure (GTCS). We studied 237 first-seizure patients (158 men, 79 women) matched to 474 hospital controls for center, sex, age (+/-5 years), and weekday of the seizure. The risk of first GTCS in alcoholics was greater than in non-alcoholics for men (odds ratio, 6.8; 95% confidence limits, 3.6-13.0) and women (6.8, 1.6-32.6). The odds ratio (both sexes) was 1.2 (0.8-1.8) for an average daily intake of absolute alcohol of 1 to 25 g/day and rose with the amount of alcohol consumed daily: 1.3 (0.8-2.1) for 26 to 50 g/day, 3.0 (1.7-5.4) for 51 to 100 g/day, 7.9 (2.9-21.9) for 101 to 200 g/day, and 16.6 (1.9-373.4) for >200 g/day. Our study provides evidence of a powerful association between alcohol use, alcoholism, and the first GTCS.
我们开展了一项多中心病例对照研究,以评估慢性酒精中毒和饮酒是否为首次发生全面性强直阵挛发作(GTCS)的风险因素。我们研究了237例首次发作的患者(158例男性,79例女性),并按照中心、性别、年龄(±5岁)和发作的工作日,将其与474例医院对照者进行匹配。男性酗酒者首次发生GTCS的风险高于非酗酒者(比值比为6.8;95%置信区间为3.6 - 13.0),女性也是如此(6.8,1.6 - 32.6)。每日纯酒精平均摄入量为1至25克/天时,(男女合计)比值比为1.2(0.8 - 1.8),且随着每日饮酒量的增加而升高:26至50克/天时为1.3(0.8 - 2.1),51至100克/天时为3.0(1.7 - 5.4),101至200克/天时为7.9(2.9 - 21.9),超过200克/天时为16.6(1.9 - 373.4)。我们的研究提供了饮酒、酒精中毒与首次GTCS之间存在强关联的证据。
