BACKGROUND: Growing literature highlights the need to integrate hepatology and addiction care to improve outcomes for patients with alcohol use disorder and alcohol-associated liver disease. However, prospective data for this approach are lacking. METHODS: We prospectively examined the efficacy of an integrated hepatology and addiction medicine approach on alcohol use and hepatology outcomes in inpatients with alcohol use disorder. FINDINGS: An integrated approach improved the uptake of medical alcohol therapy, hepatic fibrosis screening, and viral hepatitis vaccination compared with a historical control of patients who received addiction medicine care alone. There were no differences in the rates of early alcohol remission. The integration of hepatology and addiction care may improve outcomes in patients with alcohol use disorder.
背景:越来越多的文献强调需要将肝脏病学和成瘾治疗相结合,以改善酒精使用障碍和酒精相关肝病患者的治疗效果。然而,目前缺乏这种方法的前瞻性数据。
方法:我们前瞻性地研究了在酒精使用障碍住院患者中采用肝脏病学和成瘾医学相结合的方法对酒精使用和肝脏病学结果的疗效。
结果:与仅接受成瘾医学治疗的历史对照组相比,综合治疗方法提高了医疗性酒精治疗、肝纤维化筛查和病毒性肝炎疫苗接种的采用率。早期酒精缓解率没有差异。将肝脏病学和成瘾治疗相结合可能会改善酒精使用障碍患者的治疗效果。
