Abstract

Background & Aim: According to WHO predictions, without increased efforts and new initiatives, Road traffic injuries, over the next 20 years will rise in rank to Sixth place as a major cause of death and Third leading cause of DALYs lost. In Iran, in 1380, Road traffic injuries have been caused of 7/89% of death, and were one of the most important causes of death. With due attention to the highly prevalence of DRUG ABUSE in drivers and Lack of strong evidence that the use of drugs constitute a significance road crash risk, there is a need toper form this research.Materials & Methods: This study is a Case-Crossover analysis on drivers of traffic injuries in Kerman. The purpose of this study is estimation of the effect of consumption of one dose of OPIUM (until 6 hours after consumption) on the risk of road traffic injuries resulting in hospital attendance. Among 220 drivers who agreed to participate, and were interviewed, 63 persons report OPIUM consumption 6 hours prior to injury.Results: Two analytical strategies were used in these analyses, the pair matching approach and the usual frequency approach. In the first approach, we estimated the odds ratio of road traffic injuries according to OPIUM consumption 6 hours prior to injury. This figure was 4 (95% confidence interval: 0.85-18/8). Second approach was practicable only in addicted persons. Nevertheless, the risk ratios of these accidents in addicted persons in 6 hour period after OPIUM consumption were estimated as 3/2 (95% confidence interval: 1/91-5/45). We also repeated usual frequency approach for individual hour until 6th hour. 3rd hour after consumption had the highest estimated relative risk. It seems that, the number of use time per day is one of the most important effect modifiers in this association.Conclusion: According to this finding, it can be concluded that, in addicted persons the risk of occurrence of traffic injury leading to hospital attendance in 6 hours after consumption is more than three-fold relative to other times.
