To quantify the association between the presence and type of drug detected and trauma
recidivism in a cohort of patients admitted due to trauma. The incidence rate of TR was 10.94 cases per 100 patient-years in the group of patients
negative for substances and 27.99 per 100 patient-years in positive patients. The survival
curves show very significant differences in cumulative recurrence-free survival between the
groups (Log Rank: p<0.001). Both the aHRR and the aIRR estimates show an increased
risk of re-injury due to alcohol consumption (aIRR: 2.33 (1.72±3.15), p<0.001), cannabis
use (aIRR: 1.87 (1.09±3.20), p = 0.022) and polydrug use (aIRR: 2.34 (1.80±3.04),
p<0.001). The presence of alcohol and/or illicit drugs in these patients doubles the risk of trauma
recidivism
