“…The majority 46,032 (68.52%) were tested negative, 14,202 (21.14%) tested positive above the legal limit and remaining 10.34% tested with a BAC < 0.08 g/dl ( Fig. 1 , P < 0.001), and SBP < 90 (2.9% vs. 4.1%, P < 0.001) and ISS (11 [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] vs. 13 [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21], P < 0.001). ( Table 1 ) Propensity matched data analyses Propensity score was created based on a positive BAC and then 1:1 matching was performed between the groups (those who tested positive to those who tested negative for BAC).…”

“…Despite a marked improvement within several patient characteristics after matching, there were still some statistically significant differences seen among the variables between the two groups. These significant differences between the alcohol negative versus positive group included: SBP < 90 (2.6% vs. 4.1%, P < 0.001) and ISS (median [IQR]: 10[6-17] vs. 13 [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21], P < 0.001), P < 0.001).

“…O número de motociclistas mortos é muito elevado em comparação com os motoristas de carros e vans mortos. Em investigação realizada na Noruega sobre o uso de álcool ou outras drogas, relacionado a acidentes fatais, mostrou que mais de um em cada quatro motociclistas mortos em acidentes rodoviários tinham álcool ou drogas acima dos limites legislativos implementados em 2012, naquele país (21) .…”

RESUMO: Objetivou-se analisar a relação entre as características dos acidentes motociclísticos e a suspeita do uso de álcool. Estudo descritivo e transversal, realizado com 110 pacientes vítimas de acidentes de motocicleta atendidos em hospital de referência em urgência em uma capital do nordeste do Brasil, cujos dados foram coletados em novembro e dezembro de 2016, e analisados por meio da estatística descritiva, aplicando-se testes inferenciais. Verificou-se associações significativas entre o uso de álcool e a condição da vítima no veículo, habilitação, turno do acidente e uso de capacete. Vítimas sem capacete e que consumiram bebidas alcoólicas apresentaram prevalência maior dentre os acidentados. Os dados alertam sobre a relevância de uma fiscalização direta, efetiva e contínua por parte dos órgãos de trânsito, levando-se em consideração a insuficiência de medidas preventivas para acidentes. DESCRITORES: Acidentes de trânsito; Motocicletas; Causas externas; Ferimentos e lesões; Prevenção de acidentes. ACIDENTES COM MOTOCICLETAS: CARACTERÍSTICAS MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS: CHARACTERISTICS AND SUSPECTED ALCOHOL USE ABSTRACT:The present study aimed to analyze the relationship between the characteristics of motorcycle accidents and suspected alcohol use. Descriptive and cross-sectional study with 110 patients involved in motorcycle accidents assisted at an emergency hospital in a large city (state capital) in Northeastern Brazil. Data was collected in November-December 2016 and analyzed through descriptive statistics and inferential tests. Significant associations were found between alcohol consumption and injury severity, licensed or unlicensed drivers, time of the accident (night or day) and helmet use. Most victims of motorcycle accidents were not using a helmet and had consumed alcoholic beverages. The findings call attention to the need for a direct, effective and sustainable traffic crash surveillance system by the responsible bodies, given the lack of effective preventive measures. DESCRIPTORS: Traffic accidents; Motorcycles; External causes; Wounds and injuries; Accident prevention. RESUMEN: Se objetivó analizar la relación entre las características de accidentes motociclísticos y la sospecha de consumo alcohólico. Estudio descriptivo, transversal, realizado con 110 pacientes víctimas de accidentes en motocicleta atendidos en hospital de referencia en emergencias de una capital del noreste de Brasil. Datos recolectados en noviembre y diciembre de 2016, analizados mediante estadística descriptiva, aplicándose tests inferenciales. Se verificaron asociaciones significativas entre consumo de alcohol y la condición de la víctima en el vehículo, habilitación, turno del accidente y uso de casco. Las víctimas sin casco y que consumieron alcohol presentaron mayor prevalencia entre los accidentados. Los datos alertan sobre la relevancia de una fiscalización directa, efectiva y continúan por parte de los organismos de tránsito, tomándose en consideración la insuficiencia de medidas preventivas para accidentes.

“…It has already been established in more developed countries that alcohol impairment is a major risk factor of road traffic crashes (Christophersen & Gjerde, 2015;Giovanardi et al, 2005;Gjerde, Christophersen, Normann, & Mørland, 2013;Roche, Watt, McClure, Purdue, & Green, 2001;Stübig et al, 2012;Walsh et al, 2004). In Hong Kong and the US for example, over 55% of all fatally injured drivers had detectable alcohol in their blood (Brady & Li, 2013;Cheng, Chan, & Mok, 2005).…”

“…This disparity in road safety performance has arisen because of the different strategies and policies which various countries have been using to address major risk factors of road traffic crashes. For example, it has been established in the advanced countries that alcohol impairment is a major risk factor for road traffic crashes (Christophersen & Gjerde, 2015;Giovanardi et al, 2005;Gjerde et al, 2013;Roche et al, 2001;Stübig et al, 2012;Walsh et al, 2004). In Hong Kong and the US for example, over 55% of all fatally injured drivers were found to be under the influence of alcohol or illicit drugs with the majority of this proportion being impaired by alcohol rather than drugs (Brady & Li, 2013;Cheng et al, 2005).…”

This program of research, which was guided by Haddon's Matrix and deterrence theory conceptual frameworks, essentially had five core objectives. These objectives were examined through five independent studies. The studies were broadly interwoven to clarify understanding in three broad thematic areas relating to the impact of alcohol use on road traffic crashes in Northern Ghana: (a) general behaviour (i.e., knowledge, attitudes and practices) regarding alcohol impairment as a risk factor for ii Alcohol Use and Traffic Crash Severity in Ghana road users, (b) police reported alcohol and illicit drug use and the relative risk of road traffic crashes, and (c) the impact of alcohol use on road traffic injury severity.Study 1 (Chapter 5) primarily aimed to determine knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding alcohol drinking and driving in three cities in Ghana. The study was a survey conducted at washing bays, lorry terminals and fuel stations. Study 1 established that 24% of all motorists and 54% of motorists who were current alcohol users reported having driven within an hour after consuming alcohol. Current alcohol users typically consume four standard drinks per drinking occasion. Further, participants who were current alcohol users were significantly more likely to be arrested for traffic violations compared with non-alcohol users. It was apparent that enforcement of drink-driving law and motorists' knowledge of the BAC law were low.
