目的：本研究旨在了解目前青少年能量饮料的使用模式，并比较青少年能量饮料和其他常用和误用物质的使用程度。（13-17岁）和年轻人（18-25岁）急诊科（艾德）患者。在2010年6月至8月的6周期间，所有到成人或儿童艾德就诊的患者被要求完成一个基于计算机的，关于使用能量饮料和其他物质的匿名问卷。采用Wilcoxon秩和检验、双样本二项比例检验、Pearson χ 2检验和回归模型对不同年龄组的能量饮料和物质使用情况进行比较。结果：过去30天内，年轻人（57.9%）的能量饮料使用率高于青少年（34.9%）（P < 0.03）。在使用能量饮料时，青少年每天平均消耗1.5杯能量饮料，年轻人每天平均消耗2.6杯能量饮料，每天最多分别喝2.4杯和2.6杯。在青少年中，能量饮料的使用比酒精，“街头”或非法药物和烟草的使用更常见，但比咖啡因产品的使用更不常见。对于年轻人来说，能量饮料的使用比“街头”或非法药物更常见，但比咖啡因的使用更少，与烟草和酒精的使用相似。年轻的成年能量饮料用户更有可能比年轻的成年非能量饮料用户也使用烟草和caffeine.Conclusions：能量饮料的使用是常见的艾德患者。鉴于观察到的能量饮料使用率很高，急诊医生应该考虑在年轻人的介绍中使用能量饮料。
Objective: This study aimed to understand current patterns of energy drink use and compare the extent of usage of energy drinks and other commonly used and misused substances between adolescent (13-17-years-old) and young adult (18-25-years-old) emergency department (ED) patients.Methods: During a 6-week period between June and August 2010, all patients presenting to an adult or pediatric ED were asked to complete a computer-based, anonymous questionnaire regarding use of energy drinks and other substances. Wilcoxon rank-sum, 2-sample tests of binomial proportions, Pearson chi(2) testing, and regression models were used to compare energy drink and substance use by age groups.Results: Past 30-day energy drink use was greater for young adults (57.9%) than adolescents (34.9%) (P < 0.03). Adolescents typically consumed a mean of 1.5 and young adults a mean of 2.6 energy drinks per day when using energy drinks and drank at most a mean of 2.4 and 2.6 drinks per day, respectively. Among adolescents, energy drink usage was more common than alcohol, "street" or illicit drugs, and tobacco usage, but less common than caffeine product usage. For young adults, energy drink usage was more common than "street" or illicit drugs, but less common than caffeine use, and similar to tobacco and alcohol usage. Young adult energy drink users were more likely than young adult non-energy drink users also to use tobacco and caffeine.Conclusions: Energy drink use is common among ED patients. Given the high prevalence of energy drink use observed, emergency physicians should consider the involvement of energy drinks in the presentations of young people.
