| Core Tip |
We conducted a retrospective chart review on Caucasian and Latino patients with alcoholic hepatitis. We showed that Latinos had significantly higher rates of gastrointestinal bleeding, encephalopathy, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, recurrence of alcoholic hepatitis, and utilization of acute care services for alcohol related issues compared to Caucasians. However, the survival rates were not significantly different between Latinos and Caucasians. Our findings suggest that Latino patients have poor access to outpatient care and management of complications of portal hypertension. |
