Abstract

Background: Alcohol related motor vehicle ACCIDENTS results in thousands deaths and severe morbidity around the world annually. Motor vehicle ACCIDENTS are the first killer of 5- to 34-years old population and alcohol has a role in 45% of fatal crashes in western societies. Theoretically, identification of alcoholism or alcohol related injuries may help to prevent alcohol related problems. This study conducted to determine the BLOOD ALCOHOL LEVEL (BAL) of victims of motor vehicle ACCIDENTS presented to two Tehran trauma referral hospitals.Methods: In four 12-hour clinical shifts per week, two hundred adult victims of motor vehicle ACCIDENTS who presented within 4 hours of ACCIDENTS were sampled. The samples have been tested for BAL at a reference laboratory.Findings: Of 200 patients, 174 were male and 26 were female. BLOOD ALCOHOL LEVEL was positive in 19 patients (18 males and 1 female). The mean±SD BLOOD ALCOHOL LEVEL was 29.2±25.3 mg/dL and the mean±SD time of accident till sampling was 80.5±51.9 minutes.Conclusion: The prevalence of positive alcohol level in this study was lower than counterpart studies reported from western societies, possibly due to religious values and more strict legal limitations.
