Liver Transplant Provider Perspectives on Posttransplant Management of Alcohol Use Disorder.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Liver transplantation (LT) is the standard treatment for liver failure secondary to alcohol-associated liver disease, but limited literature and best practices exist for post-LT treatment of alcohol use disorder (AUD). This study explores current AUD management practices and providers' perceived barriers to effective post-LT AUD management.

Methods

A 45-item survey on post-LT AUD treatment practices was distributed to members of the American Society of Transplant Surgeons, the Association of Consult/Liaison Psychiatry Transplant Special Interest Group, and both the American Society of Transplantation's Liver and Intestine Community of Practice and Psychosocial and Ethics Community of Practice discussion boards, between December 2021 and April 2022.
