Wicki M, et al. - Researchers determined how hospital admissions for alcohol intoxication varied with respect to age following two consecutive restrictions on off-premises alcohol sales introduced in the canton of Vaud, Switzerland. Using interrupted autoregressive integrated moving average time–series analyses (repeated cross-sectional), with Lausanne and Vaud as experimental sites and the rest of Switzerland as the control, they performed the primary analyses. From the Swiss Hospital Statistics, they retrieved data from in-patients (ie, patients assigned a bed overnight) who were hospitalized between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. (n = 1,261,564). The analysis revealed a decline in the proportions of overall hospitalizations for alcohol intoxication after both bans in Lausanne. They observed the largest estimated percentage change among those aged 16–19 years. However, as there are more frequent admission rates for alcohol intoxication in adulthood than adolescence, the measured change in the number of cases is also applicable to public health among those aged 20–69 year. Reduction in hospital admissions for alcohol intoxication was observed even following partial restrictions of off-premises sales of alcohol in Switzerland (only 2 days per week or only for beer and spirits) across a wide age range (ages 16–69 years).
