Mild and Severe Blood Alcohol Concentration Effects on Trauma and Traumatic Brain Injury Outcomes
A positive BAC is linked to a reduced associated risk of VTE in TPs, including those with TBI. Notably, only the severe-BAC group demonstrated a lower associated risk of mortality. This merits future research including identification of basic science pathways that may be targeted to improve outcomes.
