All-Cause and Cause-Specific Mortality Rates of Patients Treated for Alcohol use Disorders: A Meta-Analysis

Abstract: Patients with AUDs have increased rates of all-cause and cause-specific mortality compared with the general population. Like the general population, they are most likely to die of CVD. In contrast to the general population, gastrointestinal and unnatural deaths are the next most common causes of death. We believe these facts should be considered when planning health care services for patients with AUDs.

“…Excessive alcohol consumption is an important public health problem, and globally, alcohol ingestion in 2016 was estimated to be 6.4 L of pure alcohol per person, which is related to risk of developing of several diseases, resulting in some 3 million deaths [1]. High ethanol concentrations present in alcoholic beverages have the capacity to directly injure the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in acute and chronic damage, such as erosive hemorrhagic gastritis and peptic ulcers [2,3,4]. Since ethanol is one of the most usually accepted and abused psychoactive drugs [1], the gastric injury generated by its abuse is a worrying consequence.…”

“…The higher risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality among people with schizophrenia has been linked to lifestyle, antipsychotic medication, and shared genetic vulnerabilities [19–21]. Although a modest amount of alcohol intake being protective against cardiovascular mortality, [22] alcohol use disorder has been linked to a more than six times higher mortality because of cardiovascular illness compared with the general population [23]. Use and misuse of cannabis and other illicit substance have also been linked to an increased cardiovascular mortality [24,25].…”
