Trial summary

Impairing drugs and alcohol are major risk factors for traumatic injuries. Still there is to date little knowledge to what extent these factors affect the epidemiology of trauma. Detailed mapping of risk factors improve targeting and efficiency of primary injury prevention. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Impairing Drugs and Alcohol as Risk Factors for Traumatic Injuries - a National Study on Injury Prevention

Impairing drugs and alcohol are major risk factors for traumatic injuries. Still there is to date little knowledge to what extent these factors affect the epidemiology of trauma. Detailed mapping of risk factors improve targeting and efficiency of primary injury prevention. The aim of this project is therefore to facilitate injury prevention through improved data collection and analysis on impairing drugs and alcohol as a contributing and modifiable factor in injury morbidity and mortality.

Study question: What is the toxicological profile among patients with suspected severe traumatic injury? Study design: a prospective population-based and national observational study will analyse toxicology from blood samples of all trauma admission during a 12 month study period.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Presence of alcohol in blood samples.

    Alcohol is reported in grams per liter. Analysis of alcohol is performed with an automated enzymatic method using alcohol dehydrogenase.

    Measured: Blood sample are collected at time of hospital admission for each participant. There is only one sample taken from each participant. Samples are consecutively analyzed during the study period. The database is analyzed after study period is completed.

  2. Presence of impairing illicit and medicinal drugs in blood samples.

    Impairing substances are reported as nanogram per milliliter. Analysis is performed using liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry.

    Measured: Blood sample are collected at time of hospital admission for each participant. There is only one sample taken from each participant. Samples are consecutively analyzed during the study period.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Presence of alcohol in blood samples. (time frame: Blood sample are collected at time of hospital admission for each participant. There is only one sample taken from each participant. Samples are consecutively analyzed during the study period. The database is analyzed after study period is completed.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Jun 2021.
