Abstract
â¶ We studied 204 fatally injured drivers and 10 540 drivers from random traffic. â¶ Blood samples were collected from cases and oral fluid samples from controls. â¶ 22 substances were analysed using equivalent cutoffs in blood and oral fluid. â¶ The risk for fatal injury in a road traffic accident was estimated using logistic regression. â¶ The odds for fatal accidents were high for use of multiple drugs or alcohol.
