Commentary: why is the odds ratio for involvement in serious road traffic accident among drunk drivers in norway and Finland higher than in other countries?

Conclusion: The calculated odds ratios are not only related to alcohol use or blood alcohol concentration per se but also related to the study design-for example, the inclusion of nonculpable drivers among cases-and confounding factors not included in statistical analysis; for example, risk-taking behavior. Those two issues may contribute to explaining why the reported odds ratios are higher for Norway and Finland. PMID: 24279959 [PubMed - in process]
