A Comparative Study of Acute Alcoholic Hepatitis vs. Non-Alcoholic Hepatitis Patients from a Cohort with Chronic Alcohol Dependence
The rate of alcoholic hepatitis (AH) has risen in recent years. AH can cause as much as 40–50% mortality in severe cases. Successful abstinence has been the only therapy associated with long-term survival in patients with AH. Thus, it is crucial to be able to identify at-risk individuals in order to...

description | The rate of alcoholic hepatitis (AH) has risen in recent years. AH can cause as much as 40–50% mortality in severe cases. Successful abstinence has been the only therapy associated with long-term survival in patients with AH. Thus, it is crucial to be able to identify at-risk individuals in order to implement preventative measures. From the patient database, adult patients (age 18 and above) with AH were identified using the ICD-10 classification from November 2017 to October 2019. Liver biopsies are not routinely performed at our institution. Therefore, patients were diagnosed with AH based on clinical parameters and were divided into “probable” and “possible” AH. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine risk factors associated with AH. A sub-analysis was performed to determine variables associated with mortality in AH patients. Among the 192 patients with alcohol dependence, there were 100 patients with AH and 92 patients without AH. The mean age was 49.3 years in the AH cohort, compared to 54.5 years in the non-AH cohort. Binge drinking (OR 2.698; 95% CI 1.079, 6.745; p = 0.03), heavy drinking (OR 3.169; 95% CI 1.348, 7.452; p = 0.01), and the presence of cirrhosis (OR 3.392; 95% CI 1.306, 8.811; p = 0.01) were identified as characteristics more commonly found in the AH cohort. Further, a higher inpatient mortality was seen in those with a probable AH diagnosis (OR 6.79; 95% CI 1.38, 44.9; p = 0.03) and hypertension (OR 6.51; 95% CI 9.49, 35.7; p = 0.02). A higher incidence of mortality was also noted among the non-Caucasian race (OR 2.72; 95% CI 4.92; 22.3; p = 0.29). A higher mortality rate despite a lower incidence of alcohol use among non-Caucasian patients may indicate healthcare disparities. |
