Brief alcohol interventions are underutilized in persons with nonalcohol-associated chronic liver diseases.

Background: Brief alcohol interventions use patient-provider communication to promote alcohol cessation. We characterized the receipt of this intervention in chronic liver disease (CLD).

Methods: We surveyed patients with CLD for weekly drinking patterns and examined associations with patient-provider communication receipt.

Racial and ethnic disparities in alcohol-associated liver disease in the United States: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD), encompassing alcohol-associated hepatitis and alcohol-associated cirrhosis, is rising in the United States. Racial and ethnic disparities are evident within ALD; however, the precise nature of these disparities is poorly defined.

Methods: We conducted a search of the PubMed/MEDLINE and EMBASE databases to identify studies published from inception through September 2023 that reported ALD incidence, prevalence, and mortality within the United States, stratified by race and ethnicity.
