Abstract

The potential role of serum carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (CDT) measurement in the assessment of 'High Risk Offenders (HROs)' applications for licence reinstatement in Great Britain was examined. Serum CDT determination would have provided useful confirmation of licence decisions in 70% of HROs assessed, would have resulted in a change in the licence decision in 8%, and most likely would have confounded the licence decisions made in the remaining 22%. Estimation of serum CDT could provide useful information to assist in decisions regarding licence reinstatement in selected HROs.
