“…A large study of United States claims data found that the prevalence of AH and alcohol-associated pancreatitis increased substantially during the COVID-pandemic, with a higher relative increase in women and Black patients [61] . National mortality data from The Centers for Disease Control Wide-Ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research (CDC WONDER) demonstrated a marked acceleration in ALD-related deaths after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the highest relative increase in American Indian/Alaska Native and Asian men, and among American Indian/Alaska Native and Hispanic/Latina women [26] . Alcohol consumption patterns aligned with ALD mortality patterns.…”
