Outcomes after initiation of medications for alcohol use disorder at hospital discharge.
This study looked at outcomes after initiation of medications for alcohol use disorder (MAUD), which are very underutilized. The primary outcome was a composite of all-cause mortality or return to hospital within 30 days of discharge. Secondary outcomes included the previous components separately, return to hospital for alcohol-related diagnoses, and primary care or mental health follow-up within 30 days of discharge. There were 6794 unique individuals representing 9834 alcohol-related hospitalizations (median [IQR] age, 54 years; 3205 hospitalizations among females [32.6%]; 1754 hospitalizations among Black [17.8%], 712 hospitalizations among Hispanic [7.2%], and 7060 hospitalizations among White [71.8%] patients). Of these, 2% of hospitalizations involved discharged MAUD initiation. Discharge MAUD initiation was associated with a 42% decreased incidence of the primary outcome (incident rate ratio, 0.58). These findings were consistent among secondary outcomes (eg, incident rate ratio for all-cause return to hospital, 0.56) except for mortality, which was rare in both groups. Discharge MAUD initiation was associated with a 51% decreased incidence of alcohol-related return to hospital.

The association between unhealthy alcohol use and acute care expenditures in the 30 days following hospital discharge among older Veterans Affairs patients with a medical condition.
Heavy alcohol use could predict increased risk for post-discharge acute care. This study assessed 30-day acute care utilization and expenditures for different categories of alcohol use, using VA and Medicare health care utilization data.
