Abstract
The article is devoted to a study to identify factors that influence the results of a medical examination on the state of intoxication of sober drivers. A continuous study was conducted of 867 medical examination reports drawn up during the year in relation to sober drivers in one of the offices of the medical examination department for intoxication in Moscow. The socio-demographic characteristics of doctors and sober drivers examined by them were studied. Statistically significant differences were found between the conclusions about the presence or absence of intoxication and its severity among sober drivers, depending on the gender of the doctor who conducted the examination, as well as the duration of the general medical experience. An analysis was made of the relationship between the identified clinical signs of intoxication in sober drivers and the conclusions made about the severity of intoxication. The main possible causes of clinical signs of intoxication in relation to sober drivers are considered. The results of the study indicate the existence of a problem of subjective assessment by doctors of those examined as part of a medical examination for the state of intoxication.
