The role of alcohol in road traffic accidents with fatal outcome: 10-year period in croatia split-dalmatia county.

Conclusion: The results of our study show that alcohol remains one of the main contributing factors of traffic accidents in Split-Dalmatia County. Unfortunately, legislation changes regarding the allowed BAC did not cause any reduction in casualties among drivers driving under the influence of alcohol (DUIA). Chi-square test of the number of total driver victims and driver victims who were DUIA revealed no significant difference (P = .173). PMID: 24372493 [PubMed - in process]
