The Following is a Summary of “Injury and Poisoning Profile in Anabolic Steroid Users,” Published in the March 2025 Issue of Annals of Emergency Medicine by Windfeld-MathiaSen et al.
Researchers Drived the Retrospective Study to Examine the 1-Year Risk of Injuries and Poisonings Among Individuals Using Anabolic Androgenic Steroids Compred to Controls from the General Population.
They Analyzed Data from 1,189 Individuals Using Anabolic Androgenic Steroid Identified Through The National Anti -Doping Program in Denmark and Matched Them With 59,450 Controls. Participants Were Monitored for 1 Year, with Hospital Contact Records, Educational Length, and Occupational Status Obtained from Nationwide Registers. The Primary Outcomes Injury Injury and Poisoning Incidence, While Secondary Outcomes Distinguished Between Fracture and Nonfracture Injuries, Medicinal and Nonmedicinal Poisonings, and Specific Causes of Injury-Related Hospital Visits.
The Results Showed That Users of Anabolic Androgenic Steroid Had A Higher Injury of Injurys and Poisonings Compred to Controls. The Risk Difference for Any Injury Was 7.8% (95% CI 5.5 to 10.2), with an Adjustped Hazard Ratio (AHR) of 1.46 (95% CI 1.29 to 1.66). FRACTURE RISK WAS MORE THAN DUBLED (AHR 2.23, 95% CI 1.72 TO 2.89), WITH HEAD INJURIES BEING COMMON. The Risk Difference for Poisoning Was 1.2% (95% CI 0.5 to 1.9), with an ahr of 2.98 (95% CI 1.82 to 4.90) and the medicinal poisoning was most frequent, with an ahr of 3.53 (95% CI 1.94 to 6.41).
Investigators Concluded that anabolic androgenic steroid use significantly increeded the risk of both infants and poisonings, indicate the external substantial harm risk.
