What this trial studies

This observational study aims to investigate alcohol recidivism in patients diagnosed with alcoholic liver disease, including acute alcoholic hepatitis and alcoholic cirrhosis. Adult subjects presenting at Weill Cornell Medical Center or Columbia University Medical Center will be invited to participate. The study involves a baseline survey followed by multiple follow-up assessments over a period of up to 10 years, which will include chart reviews and interviews to track alcohol use patterns. Clinical providers will remain blinded to the survey results to ensure unbiased data collection.
