XXXX Attributable Fraction for Injury Morbidity from the Dose-Response Relationship of Acute @entity285 Consumption: Emergency Department Data from 18 Countries.

@entity1 @entity341 @entity7944 @entity2613 @entity285 @entity130
AIMS: To calculate the @entity285 -attributable fraction (AAF) of injury morbidity by volume of consumption prior to injury based on newly reported relative risk (RR) estimates. DESIGN: AAF estimates based on the dose-response RR estimates obtained from previous pair-matched case-crossover fractional polynomial analysis of mean volume in volume categories were calculated from the prevalence of drinking prior to injury in each volume category. SETTING: Thirty-seven @entity341 ( @entity341 ) across 18 countries. @entity1 : Probability samples of @entity1 , with equal representation of each shift for each day of the week, totaling 14,026 who arrived at the @entity2613 within six hours of injury from @entity2613 studies conducted between 2001 and 2011. MEASUREMENTS: AAF was analyzed by gender, age (18-30; >30), cause of injury (traffic, assault, fall, other), and country @entity7944 ( @entity7944 ). FINDINGS: For the @entity341 analyzed, 16.4% of all @entity130 were estimated to be attributable to @entity285 , and the AAF did not vary by age but was over twice as large for males (20.6%; 19.3-21.8) than for females (8.6%; 7.5-9.7%). While females were at greater risk of injury than males at higher volume levels, lower prevalence of @entity1 drinking at higher levels contributed to overall lower AAF for @entity1 . Assault-related @entity130 showed the largest AAF (44.1%; 37.6-42.6). AAF was slightly higher for @entity130 from falls (14.3%; 12.9-15.7) than motor vehicle crashes (11.1%; 9.3-12.9). AAF was higher in those countries with a @entity7944 of 3 (18.6; 17.5-19.7) and 4 (19.4%; 17.3-21.6) than those with a @entity7944 of 2 (12.0%; 10.5-13.5). CONCLUSIONS: @entity285 -attributable @entity130 presenting in @entity341 are higher for males than females, for violence-related @entity130 compared with other types of injury, and for countries with more detrimental drinking patterns compared with those with less detrimental patterns.
