A systematic comparison of these two groups yielded several important, statistically significant differences and it becomes increasingly apparent that distinctions can be made that permit the identification of high-risk segments of the DWI population, facilitating early diagnosis and differential treatment modes. %G %I John Wiley and Sons %@ 0145-6008 %U http://dx.doi.org/
