| Core Tip |
Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is one of the main causes of chronic liver disease worldwide. Many patients with ALD present for medical care after they have developed advanced liver disease and its complications. It is important to know the epidemiology of ALD within a specific region/country to better understand which resources might be necessary to improve management. This study provides a landscape of the epidemiological profile of hospital admissions due to ALD in different regions of Brazil from 2006 to 2015, including the mortality rates and admissions according to age range. We detected a 34.07% increase in the total number of hospital admissions for ALD and a 24.72% increase in the total number of ALD deaths over these 10 years. Therefore, this study signals the need to be alert to this liver illness and to possibly revisit policies related to alcohol marketing, sales, and consumption. |
