73 patients with an alcohol problem seen in a hospital medical unit over a two year period were examined specifically for signs suggestive of nutritional deficiency and of organ or system damage due to alcohol. A seven day dietary recall was carried out on most of them. Clinical signs of nutritional deficiency were relatively uncommon but nine patients had Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome and ten had peripheral neuropathy. Thiamine was present in less than recommended amounts in 81.5% of the diets. Vitamin D and vitamin C were the next most common dietary deficiencies. 66.1% were deficient in energy intake and about a third of patients derived more than 40% of their energy from alcohol.
在两年时间里，对一家医院内科病房收治的73名有酒精问题的患者进行了专门检查，以查找提示营养缺乏以及酒精所致器官或系统损害的体征。对其中大多数患者进行了为期七天的饮食回顾调查。营养缺乏的临床体征相对不常见，但有9名患者患有韦尼克-科尔萨科夫综合征，10名患者患有周围神经病变。81.5%的饮食中硫胺素含量低于推荐量。维生素D和维生素C是接下来最常见的饮食缺乏营养素。66.1%的患者能量摄入不足，约三分之一的患者40%以上的能量来自酒精。
