- <b><i>Background:</i></b> Psoriasis has been reported to be associated with alcohol consumption. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> To investigate the level of alcohol intake in individuals with psoriasis and correlate intake with the extent of disease and pruritus. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Twenty-nine outpatients (15 females and 14 males) with stable chronic plaque psoriasis of moderate severity were recruited. The Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) and the degree of pruritus (visual analogue scale) were compared with measures of drinking habits as determined by the Lifetime Drinking History (LDH), the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test and whole-blood phosphatidylethanol (PEth), an alcohol-specific biomarker. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The majority of patients were social drinkers with moderate alcohol consumption as determined by PEth and LDH. Alcohol consumption correlated significantly with the PASI score. There was no correlation between alcohol use and pruritus. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> The level of alcohol consumption is correlated with the extent of psoriasis.

- Objectives Liver transplantation (LT) is the only available cure for end-stage liver disease and one of the best treatment options for hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC). Patients with known alcohol-associated cirrhosis (AC) are routinely assessed for alcohol dependence or abuse before LT. Patients with other liver diseases than AC may consume alcohol both before and after LT. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of alcohol drinking before and after LT on patient and graft survival regardless of the etiology of liver disease. Materials and Methods Between April 2012 and December 2015, 200 LT-recipients were interviewed using the Lifetime Drinking History and the Addiction Severity Index questionnaire. Patients were categorized as having AC, n = 24, HCC and/or hepatitis C cirrhosis (HCV), n = 69 or other liver diseases, n = 107. Patients were monitored and interviewed by transplantation-independent staff for two years after LT with questions regarding their alcohol consumption. Patient and graft survival data were retrieved in October 2019. Results Patients with AC had an increased hazard ratio (HR) for death after LT (crude HR: 4.05, 95% CI: 1.07-15.33, p = 0.04) and for graft loss adjusted for age and gender (adjusted HR: 3.24, 95% CI 1.08-9.77, p = 0.04) compared to the other patients in the cohort. There was no significant effect of the volume of alcohol consumed before or after LT on graft loss or overall survival. Conclusion Patients transplanted for AC have a worse prognosis, but we found no correlation between alcohol consumed before or after LT and graft or patient survival.

- Objective: Liver transplantation (LT) is a life-saving procedure for patients with end-stage liver disease, acute liver failure or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Patients with known alcoholic liver cirrhosis (ALC) are usually assessed by an addiction specialist, but patients with other liver diseases may also exhibit harmful drinking. This study aims to assess the drinking habits in LT-recipients with or without a diagnosis of ALC. Patients and methods: Between April 2012 and December 2015, 190 LT-recipients were interviewed using the Lifetime Drinking History (LDH) and the Addiction Severity Index (ASI). Patients were categorized according to their diagnoses: ALC (group A, n = 39), HCC or hepatitis C (group B, n = 56) or other liver diseases (group C, n = 95). Data were analysed using descriptive statistic methods. Results: Fifteen of 95 patients (15.8%) in group C - a cohort without suspected addiction problems - had either alcohol consumption or binge drinking within the upper quartile of the overall cohort. The aetiology of liver disease in this subgroup included mainly cholestatic and cryptogenic liver disease. Illicit drugs had been used by 35% of all patients. Cannabis and amphetamine were the most common drugs and had the longest duration of regular use. Conclusions: LT candidates without known alcohol or drug use may have a clinically significant consumption of alcohol and previous illicit drug use. Efforts should be put on identification of these patients during LT evaluation. The use of structured questionnaires such as the ASI and the LDH could facilitate detection of alcohol and drug problems.
