The co-occurrence of mental disorders among Dutch adolescents admitted for acute alcohol intoxication.

Adolescents with substance use disorders are often diagnosed with co-occurring mental disorders. However, it is unknown if adolescent hospital admission for acute alcohol intoxication is also associated with co-occurring mental disorders. Therefore, the primary aim of this study is to estimate the prevalence of co-occurring mental disorders among Dutch adolescents admitted for acute alcohol intoxication.

Age at First Alcohol Use as a Possible Risk Factor for Adolescent Acute Alcohol Intoxication Hospital Admission in the Netherlands.

Background: The primary objective of this study is to determine whether age at first alcohol use is a determinant for adolescent acute alcohol intoxication characteristics, such as age at first acute alcohol intoxication and blood alcohol concentration (BAC) at hospital admission. Around the world, as in the Netherlands, a key aim of alcohol policy is to postpone the age at first alcohol use. This is based on cohort studies that indicate a relationship between a younger age at first alcohol use and subsequent adult alcohol use disorders.

[Ten years of alcohol intoxication among young people in The Netherlands].

Objective: To provide insight into the number of adolescents admitted to hospital with alcohol intoxication in the period 2007-2016.

Design: Observational cross-sectional study.

Methods: We used data from the hospital admissions for alcohol intoxication among minors that had been reported to the Dutch Paediatric Surveillance System (NSCK).

Gender, age, and educational level attribute to blood alcohol concentration in hospitalized intoxicated adolescents; a cohort study.

Background: The prevalence of adolescents hospitalized with acute alcohol intoxication, mainly because of severe reduced consciousness, is increasing. However, the characteristics of these adolescents are mainly unidentified. In this clinical research, we aimed to identify factors that attribute to higher ethanol concentration, on which targeted alcohol health interventions can be designed.

Adolescent alcohol intoxication in Dutch hospital centers of pediatrics: characteristics and gender differences.

Gender differences in alcohol intoxication among adolescents are still largely unknown, whereas these differences have been studied in adults. To investigate possible differences, this study analyzed pediatric admissions for alcohol intoxication to the majority of Dutch hospitals between 2007 and 2009. Another aim was to explore key characteristics (e.
