Article Synopsis
- Alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS) is a severe medical condition with increasing rates of morbidity and mortality, and little data is available on its prevalence in Oman.
- The study reviewed medical records of 150 male patients diagnosed with AWS, finding high readmission rates (32.7%) and low referral to rehabilitation (16.7%) despite common comorbidities like chronic liver disease and diabetes.
- The findings indicate that AWS significantly burdens healthcare services, suggesting the need for dedicated drug and alcohol support services to improve patient care.
