本文回顾了一些国家的急诊室(ER)研究，这些研究侧重于酒精与伤亡之间的联系。审查强调使用患者的概率样本来代表收集数据的急救机构的人口，并将受伤患者与非受伤患者(非受伤患者)区分开来的研究。这里综述的研究涉及：(1)急诊室就诊时酒精阳性血液的估计流行率；(2)事件发生前自我报告的酒精消费导致需要急诊室治疗的情况；(3)患者对其通常饮酒模式和与酒精相关的问题的描述；(4)对伤亡和与酒精相关的伤亡的预测。文中还比较了几个国家的研究结果。对ER研究的局限性以及与此类数据的有用性和解释有关的其他问题以及急诊室人群研究的未来方向进行了讨论
This paper reviews emergency room (ER) studies from a number of countries which have focused on the association of alcohol and casualties. The review emphasizes studies which used probability sample of patients to represent the population of the emergency facility where the data were collected, and which separated injured patients from patients with medical conditions not due to injuries (the 'non-injured'). Reviewed here are studies concerned with: (1) estimated prevalence of positive blood alcohol at the time of the ER visit; (2) self-reported alcohol consumption prior to the event resulting in a need for ER treatment; (3) patients' descriptions of their usual drinking patterns and alcohol-related problems; (4) predictions of casualties and of alcohol-related casualties. Comparisons of findings from several countries are also presented. Comments on limitations of ER studies as well as other issues pertaining to the usefulness and interpretation of such data, and future directions for research in emergency room populations are discussed
