Impact of Integrating an Addiction Team on Post Liver Transplantation Survival for Alcohol-related Liver Disease and Its Complications.

July 19, 2021 updated by: University Hospital, Montpellier

Impact of Integrating an Addiction Team on Post Liver Transplantation Survival for Alcohol-related Liver Disease and Its Complications: a Multicenter Retrospective Comparative Study.

Investigator seeks to determine wether integrating an addiction team into a liver transplantation unit improves the prognosis of patients with alcohol-related liver disease requiring liver transplantation. Our hypothesis is that patients managed by an addiction team before and after liver transplantation have less frequent alcohol relapses, thus decreasing the risk of cardiovascular complications, de novo cancer, recurrence of alcohol-related cirrhosis, and consequently increasing their overall survival.

Detailed Description

In this observational, retrospective and multicentre study, investigator seek to determine the effect of integrating an addiction team into liver transplantation unit on prognosis of patients with alcohol-related liver disease requiring liver transplantation. Investigatore plan to compare patients in 2 groups, depending on whether they have received or not specific addiction care before and after transplantation. This study was conducted over a period of 15 years in three French liver transplant units.
