Is Blood Alcohol Level a Good Predictor for Injury Severity Outcomes in Motor Vehicle Crash Victims?

Table 4

Adjusted coefficients of blood alcohol level for ISS and length of stay.

	ISS		Length of stay
	β	𝑃 value∧	β	𝑃 value∧
No	reference		reference
Low	−0.074	NSS	−2.46	NSS
High	−1.387	NSS	−1.58	NSS

*Injured person's age, gender, MVC characteristics (single crash or not), location of MVC, injured person type, and seatbelt use were adjusted.
^∧Compares low ETOH group with no ETOH and the high ETOH group with no ETOH group.
NSS: not statistically significant.
