Reductions in alcohol-related liver harm stopped when COVID-19 hit, study suggests
Both men and women recorded a sharp rise in presentations 'likely due to the pandemic lockdowns', say Aussie researchers.
A trend of declining hospital admissions for alcohol-related liver disease during the 2010s abruptly stopped when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Australian researchers say.
The researchers used data from more than 130,000 hospital admissions when the primary diagnosis was identified as alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) between 1993 and 2020.
