Simultaneous Management of Alcohol Use Disorder and Liver Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Management of alcohol use disorder (AUD) is rarely used in patients with liver disease. We performed a systematic review to examine the impact of AUD management among patients with liver disease.

Methods

Twenty studies fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria on 38,329 patients (7072 receiving AUD intervention) with liver disease (15 with liver disease and 6 liver transplant [LT] recipients) were analyzed. One study was common to both groups. Variable follow-up period across studies was weighted for sample size and converting to person-years. Primary outcome was alcohol use, and secondary outcomes were liver decompensation and patient mortality.

Results

Abstinence and alcohol relapse rates/person-year with AUD intervention among liver disease patient
