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.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into alcohol use patterns and recidivism, potentially informing better treatment strategies for patients with alcoholic liver disease.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is observational and builds on existing knowledge, similar studies have shown success in understanding alcohol use patterns in liver disease patients.
