The prognostic impact of psychiatric intervention on alcohol-associated liver disease: The UK Biobank cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background/aims

Alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) is a public health concern. ALD patients often have psychiatric comorbidities, but the effects of psychiatric interventions on ALD are not well-established. This study explores the prognostic impact of psychiatric intervention on ALD within UK Biobank cohort.
