Association between acute pre-injury alcohol use and 12-month health outcomes for survivors of major trauma: A registry-based study
Acute pre-injury alcohol exposure was not associated with increased reporting of problems on the EQ-5D or with return to work at 12-months post-injury. Further research is needed to understand why patients with alcohol detections were sometimes associated with paradoxically better 12-month post-injury outcomes relative to patients without alcohol detections.
