“…In this study, patients were predominantly male of younger age .This agrees with a study by Peng S-H, et al [20] .The gender distribution showed an overall male to female ratio of 4:1 and those in the age group mostly affected were between 29 and 38 years of age.…”

Aim: Consumption of alcohol plays a key role in traumatic injuries The capacity of alcohol to distort human cognitive ability and reasoning makes it an important factor in the causation of motor vehicle and interpersonal violence-related injuries The aim of this study was to investigate the role of alcohol in severe facial injuries in settings of motor vehicular crashes and interpersonal violence. Study Design: A prospective study of 118 patients who suffered alcohol-related facial injuries. Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted at the University of Uyo teaching hospital Uyo, Nigeria over a 5-year period, from January 2007 to January 2021. Methodology: The variables analyzed included socio demographics, nature of injury and sites of injuries. Alcohol Use Disturbance Identification Test (AUDIT test) was used to identify risks and damages of alcohol use and dependence. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 21.0. Multivariate analysis was carried out using binary logistic regression analysis, P = 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results: A total of 118 patients suffered alcohol-related facial injuries in the period of the study. There were 97 males and 21 females, giving a male to female ratio of 4:1 The mean age of the patients’ population was 43 .The commonest age range involved in alcohol-related facial injuries was 29-38 years. Road traffic injuries were the commonest cause of facial injuries. Medium risk alcohol consumption and male gender were identified as risk factors for moderate and severe injuries as well as for avulsive injuries. Conclusion: Alcohol-related injuries often turn out severe, and the identifiable risk factors include male gender, high-risk alcohol consumption and road traffic crashes.

“…There were 100 records that reported on the prevalence of AOD involvement in injury events. Of the 100 records that reported on all causes of injury (excluding transport events), 30 studies reported on the prevalence of AOD involvement in patients presenting to hospital after falls 24–52. One of these studies was excluded, since it reported exclusively on patients who denied consuming alcohol in the past year 38.…”

Prevalence of alcohol and other drug use in patients presenting to hospital for fall-related injuries: a systematic review

et al. 2022

BackgroundAlcohol and other drug (AOD) use is a key preventable risk factor for serious injuries. Prevention strategies to date have largely focused on transport injuries, despite AOD use being a significant risk factor for other injury causes, including falls. This systematic review aimed to report the prevalence of AOD use in patients presenting to hospital for fall-related injuries.MethodsThis systematic review includes studies published in English after the year 2010 that objectively measured the prevalence of AOD use in patients presenting to hospital for a fall-related injury. Screening, data extraction and risk of bias assessments were completed by two independent reviewers. Data were presented using narrative synthesis and, where appropriate, meta-analyses.ResultsA total of 12 707 records were screened. Full texts were retrieved for 2042 records, of which 29 were included. Four studies reported the combined prevalence of any alcohol and/or drug use, generating a pooled prevalence estimate of 37% (95% CI 25% to 49%). Twenty-two records reported on the prevalence of acute alcohol use alone and nine reported specifically on the prevalence of drugs other than alcohol, with prevalence ranging from 2% to 57% and 7% to 46%, respectively. The variation in prevalence estimates likely resulted from differences in toxicology testing methods across studies.ConclusionsAOD exposure was common in hospitalised fall-related injuries. However, research addressing prevalence across different types of falls and the use of drugs other than alcohol was limited. Future research should address these areas to improve our understanding of which populations should be targeted in AOD and injury prevention strategies .PROSPERO registration numberCRD42020188746.

Background: A simple arithmetic combination of the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score and pupillary response, the GCS-Pupil (GCS-P), extends the information provided about the patient outcome to an extent comparable to that obtained using more complex methods. The objective of the study was to compare the changes in the GCS-P score of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) under alcohol intoxication and nontoxication over time. Methods: A prospective observational study was done in a hospital at the Level I trauma center. The patients admitted to the emergency department (ED) with TBI were the study participants. They were grouped into intoxicated and nonintoxicated based on blood alcohol concentration (BAC). BAC of 0.08% and above was considered intoxication. GCS-P score in the ED and the best day 1 GCS-P score were the outcome variables. For nonnormally distributed quantitative parameters, medians and interquartile range were compared between study groups using Mann−Whitney U-test. P <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: A total of 216 patients were included in the final analysis. There was no statistically significant difference between BAC in GCS-P score at different follow-up periods, GCS-P score (ED), and GCS-P score (best day 1). Conclusion: This prospective observational study showed a low GCS-P score for alcohol-intoxicated patients compared to nonintoxicated patients, which was not statistically significant. There was no significant difference in emergency GCS-P score and best day 1 score between alcohol-intoxicated and nonintoxicated patients.
