Futurestudies on alcohol and trauma should recognize this, and present sex-specific analyses.: The effect of alcohol use on injury severity and mortality was different between genders.Increasing use of alcohol in men showed a "protective" effect, while the opposite effect was observed inwomen. With the exception of injury severity in motor vehicle occupants and motorcyclists, the "protective"effect of alcohol was found for all types of trauma in men, whereas increasing alcohol use in womenwas associated with an increase in injury severity and mortality for penetrating injuries and for motorvehicle occupants and motorcyclists. Women with blunt injuries, however, showed the same "protective"effect from alcohol as observed in men. No differences was found between acute and chronic alcohol usewith respect to trauma morbidity and mortality.: 2195 men and 664 women 18 years or older, admitted with blunt or penetrating trauma.: Regional Level 1 trauma center in Seattle, Washington, USA.: A prospective cohort study.: To explore possible impact of acute and chronic alcohol abuse on injury severity andmortality in male and female trauma patients.
