Alcohol consumption among patients diagnosed with genitourinary cancers.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To characterize alcohol consumption and binge-drinking patterns among individuals with GU cancers (prostate, kidney, bladder and testicular) compared to a propensity-matched cohort without cancer in a large, nationally diverse population.

Materials and methods

We conducted a retrospective, cross-sectional study utilizing data from the National Institutes of Health All of Us Research Program. Matching accounted for age, sex assigned at birth, smoking status, comorbidities and education/marital status. The primary outcome was self-reported drinking frequency. The secondary outcomes were self-reported binge-drinking frequency and Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT-C) scores.

Results

Drinking and binge-drinking among individuals with GU mali
