Concomitant Psychiatric and Nonalcohol‐Related Substance Use Disorders Among Hospitalized Patients with Alcoholic Liver Disease in the United States

Abstract

Hospitalized patients with ALD have significantly high prevalence of concomitant psychiatric and substance abuse disorders when compared to those with chronic liver diseases not caused by alcohol and those without underlying liver diseases. Screening and appropriate intervention should be implemented as part of routine clinical care for these patients.
