本研究的目的是确定酒精生物标记物CDT、GGT、生物标记物伽马-CDT指数和既往酒后驾车对酒后驾车再犯的预测是否有显著贡献。受试者包括两个不同的司机样本，即。在随机呼气测试中发现酒精浓度呈阳性的司机(n=237)，以及在普通警察工作中被捕的醉酒司机(n=193)。对酒后驾车事件进行了回顾性和前瞻性的数据库监测。结果发现，在随机接受呼气测试的司机组中，生物标记物指数伽马-CDT是再次犯罪的显著预测指标。据我们所知，伽马-CDT的测量及其对酒后驾车再犯率的影响之前并未应用于随机呼吸测试的司机。另一方面，被逮捕的醉酒司机并没有表现出伽马-CDT和酒后驾车累犯率之间的显著关系。然而，在这两组司机中，研究发现，以前酒后驾车的定罪强烈预示着酒后驾车再次犯罪。医生和警察都应该更多地关注那些被判酒后驾车的人再次犯罪的高风险。(C)2009爱思唯尔爱尔兰有限公司。保留所有权利。
The aim of the present study was to determine whether the alcohol biomarkers CDT, GGT, the biomarker gamma-CDT index and previous drunken driving contributed significantly to the prediction of DUI recidivism. The subjects consisted of two different samples of drivers, viz. drivers who were found to have a positive breath alcohol concentration during random breath testing surveys (n = 237), and drunken drivers who were apprehended during ordinary police work (n = 193). The drunken driving events were monitored using a data-base both retrospectively and prospectively.It was found that the biomarker index, gamma-CDT, emerged as a notable predictor of recidivism in the group of random breath tested drivers. Measurement of gamma-CDT and its impact on DUI recidivism has not to our knowledge been applied to random breath tested drivers before. The apprehended drunken drivers, on the other hand, did not show a significant relationship between gamma-CDT and DUI recidivism. However, in both groups of drivers it was found that a previous conviction for drunken driving strongly predicted DUI recidivism. More attention should be paid by both physicians and the police to the high risk of recidivism among those convicted of drunken driving. (c) 2009 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
