🚨 🗣️ NEW podcast alert 🚨 ⚠️
Deaths from alcohol-related liver disease continue to increase, with the 3 months post-admission with decompensated ArLD being critical 🏥 😔. Listen to our own @KGananandan and @jamesbmaurice chat to @CKOWork and Dr Mike Allison about the East Anglia perspective, which was published online in @FrontGastro_BMJ earlier this year 👏 🎉 .
During this podcast, they chat about the variations in alcohol care team provision, how to help our patients achieve abstinence, and the importance of post-discharge care and transplantation pathways 🔥 🔥. Have a listen below 👂 👇 👇

Really cool to see this published.
Some considerations for the patients in your liver/gastro clinic who inevitably ask - what about 0% alcohol drinks?

🚨 Decompensated cirrhosis + alcohol = a critical 3-month window ⏳
🧪 New data from East Anglia 🏥
🔹 203 patients admitted with alcohol-related cirrhosis
🍺 72% drinking on admission
⚠️ 65% relapse rate at 3 months
💀 24% mortality
🚫 Nearly half ineligible for transplant due to continued alcohol use
🩺 We must rethink support + follow-up in this high-risk window.

“It’s not like I’m a bad drinker.” A new study reveals how the stigma of being seen as an “alcoholic” deters people with liver cirrhosis from accepting life-saving support.

3 months after an admission to hospital with decompensated ArLD, patients experience high rates of relapse to alcohol (65%) and high short-term mortality (24%). Article published today in @FrontGastro_BMJ.

New UK data reveals women and patients from deprived areas are less likely to be assessed for #livertransplantation for alcohol-related liver disease—even though mortality in these groups is higher. Equity in transplant evaluations is crucial. #TXPforAll tinyurl.com/m53f5b4z
