Abstract

  Background: Studies around the world show that people who take part in road traffic after consuming alcohol are at a very high risk of traffic accidents. Objectives: Determining the rate of alcohol consumption in patients injured by traffic accidents. Learn about some related factors between alcohol consumption and traffic injury in hospitalized patients in the Emergency Department, Can Tho Central General Hospital. Materials and method: A cross-sectional descriptive study analyzed in 283 patients injured in traffic accidents within 6 hours of hospitalization for treatment in the Emergency Department, Can Tho General Hospital in 2018. Data was collected by direct interviews with structured questionnaires. Results: The results show that the rate of alcohol consumption in patients injured by traffic accidents was 39.2%. The risk of injury from traffic accidents is high among men who consume alcohol, 11.35 times higher than women (OR=11.35, CI 95% OR=5.55-23.21); Patients who have occupational income consumed alcohol (OR=2.57, CI 95% OR=1.38-4.79) are 2.57 times higher than patients who can not earn money. Drivers having traffic accidents after consuming alcohol account for a proportion of 97.3%, 9.53 times higher than non-drivers (walking, passengers), (OR=9.53, CI 95% OR=2.8631.78). Patients who consumed alcohol have a traumatic brain injury account for a proportion of 24.3% and have a 2.75 times higher risk of traumatic brain injury than non-alcohol users (OR=2.75, CI 95% OR=1.43-5.28). Conclusion: It is necessary to strengthen education and propaganda, build communication campaigns for citizens about the risk of alcohol consumption when participating in traffic.
