New onset alcohol use disorder following bariatric surgery.
Researchers sought to characterize the patients and incidence of alcohol use disorder (AUD) following sleeve gastrectomy (SG) compared to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). They found that the prevalence of alcohol use disorder in patients undergoing SG and RYGB was similar pre- and postoperatively, with the majority of patients developing AUD following their second postoperative year. The authors recommended understanding the timing and incidence of AUD in order to provide appropriate counseling and treatment.

Systematic review with meta-analysis on transplantation for alcohol-related liver disease: very low evidence of improved outcomes.
Under the hypothesis that, while liver transplantation for patients with alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) may improve mortality and relapse, findings will be limited by pre-specified causes of heterogeneity, researchers conducted a systematic review. Data from 10 studies comparing use of liver transplant in ALD to no-transplant was analyzed. Primary outcome of both was short- and long-term mortality and relapse. The results of the review indicate that liver transplantation for ALD patients suggests reduced mortality and relapse in heterogeneous, institution-specific populations. The authors note that, to understand efficacy of transplanting ALD, their research approach must change.
