Abstract
Alcohol as a risk factor in pedestrian accidents was studied so that the BACs were measured by gas chromatography in 341 accident patients and by ASD-breathalyzers in 682 sex-, site-, and time-matched pedestrians not involved in accidents. Alcohol was found in the blood in 53% of the accident cases and in 15% of the controls. The RR, if 1.0 at zero BAC, was 0.59 at BAC 0.3-0.5, 2.2 at 0.6-1.0, 6.8 at 1.1-1.5, 13 at 1.6-2.0, and 29 at BACs of over 2.0 g/l.Entities:
