Early Detection of Alcoholic Liver Disease

Alcoholic Liver DiseaseAlcoholic Fibrosis of Liver6 more

This is an observational study to identify the prevalence of advanced liver fibrosis among patients with excessive alcohol intake using a non-invasive method (FibroScan®) and to characterize the main environmental, genetic and epigenetic factors that could influence the development of advanced fibrosis. The investigators will include patients 21 years of age or older with excessive alcohol intake, with abnormal AST, ALT, GGT and/or bilirubin, and without any evidence of decompensated liver disease (jaundice, ascites, encephalopathy). Liver fibrosis will be estimated by FibroScan®. A designed questionnaire for studying environmental and psychosocial factors will be filled by the included patients, and blood samples will be obtained to study genetic and epigenetic factors. The patients with advance fibrosis will be referred to the specialist for surveillance and treatment according to current clinical guidelines.

Norepinephrine Transporter Imaging in Addiction Disorders

ObesityAlcohol Dependence

In this study we propose to study 24 unmedicated abstinent alcohol dependent patients, 24 obese individuals and 24 individually matched healthy control subjects and determine Norepinephrine Transporter (NET) expression in vivo using (S,S)-[11C]MRB and PET.

Tailoring Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment for Medical ICU Survivors

Unhealthy Alcohol UseAlcohol Use Disorders

Unhealthy alcohol use is present in up to 38% of the 4 million patients admitted to an American intensive care unit (ICU) each year in the US. Despite the high prevalence of unhealthy alcohol use in ICU survivors, routine interventions targeted at reducing alcohol consumption, alcohol-related consequences, and illness related to alcohol are not currently part of the multidisciplinary approach to critical care. Although screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) has been described in several healthcare settings, it fails to address common characteristics of medical ICU survivors including high rates of alcohol use disorders, cognitive dysfunction, psychiatric comorbidities, and intimate involvement of friends and family. This study uses a qualitative approach to further understand the needs of medical ICU survivors with unhealthy alcohol use. The investigators hypothesize that there are common, modifiable barriers to improving alcohol-related outcomes

Preliminary Analysis of the Soberlink Alcohol Breath Analyzer System's (SABA) Clinical Utility During...

Alcohol Use Disorder

This is an exempt, retrospective study of a limited set of information obtained from patients' medical records at 10 to 12 substance abuse treatment programs combined with alcohol breath analyzer results during up to 3 years of aftercare monitoring. The study objectives are 1) to compare the compliance rates and likelihood of achieving sustained sobriety for aftercare patients in mandated (eg, impaired professionals) versus non-mandated monitoring programs and 2) identify components within patients' monitoring agreements that are significantly correlated with positive outcomes.

ADHD: Gaps Between Patients With Alcohol-dependence and Impact on Relapse

AlcoholismAttention Deficit Disorder With Hyperactivity

Some recent studies have found that adult attention deficit - hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) was frequent among patients with alcohol-dependence. However, no investigation has ever addressed whether ADHD may impact the drinking outcome. Moreover, most of the different aforementioned studies assessed ADHD using the ADHD self-report scale (ASRS). The ASRS is a screening questionnaire that is of limited diagnostic value, and the overrepresentation of high-score ASRS among patients with alcohol-dependence could be in part due to differential diagnoses such as antisocial or borderline personality disorders, executive function impairments, or isolated impulsiveness. The study aims to evaluate "ADHD: Gaps between patients with Alcohol Dependence and Impact on early Relapse" (AGADIR). In AGADIR, subjects with alcohol-dependence are recruited at the end of a residential detoxification program. They are assessed for ADHD using the ASRS, but also with a standardized diagnostic tool, i.e., the Diagnostic Interview for ADHD in adults (DIVA 2.0). Potential differential diagnoses are screened during the baseline visit. The patients are followed-up during the 12 first post-detox weeks, through a standardized psychosocial treatment. ASRS is re-performed at the end of the follow-up.

Endocrine Regulation of Energy and Fluid Supplies in Alcoholic Patients

Alcoholism

This study is about the endocrine regulation of energy and fluid supplies in alcoholic patients. A large proportion of energy and fluid is supplied by alcohol beverages in alcoholic patients. In this study, we evaluated the importance of these supplies with a detailed questionnaire, a nutrition software that evaluated the importance of each macro- and micronutrients and correlated these values with several hormones such as Leptin, Insulin, Cortisol, Ghrelin, and PYY involved in the regulation of energy balance or AVP involved in the regulation of plasma osmolality

Impact of COVID-19 Outbreak on the Alcohol Consumption in Patients With Alcohol-related Liver Disease...

Alcohol-related Liver DiseaseAlcohol Dependence3 more

The lockdown consequent to Coronavirus outbreak has had a differential impact on the drinking behaviour on the general population. The impact is unknown on the people with underlying chronic liver disease related to alcohol as some of them may have complex psychosocial background. The alcohol consumption in people with Alcohol-related Liver Disease (ArLD) is either due to alcohol dependence or related to their lifestyle. Alcohol dependence is a chronic relapsing remitting condition and this is associated with 60% mortality at 5 years in people who continue drinking. Recovery from alcohol-use disorder (AUD) has been made more difficult during lock-down because peer support meetings such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) have no longer been taking place; a majority of the residential rehabilitation centres have closed or are no longer accepting admissions (PHE, 2020) and the single detoxification unit in London has been requisitioned as a COVID-19 step-down facility. The aim of the study is to understand the influence of lockdown on the craving of alcohol and severity of alcohol dependence in patients with ArLD. The results from the study will enable us to identify the factors influencing the drinking behaviour during lockdown and a subsequent impact on episodes of decompensation and mortality.

Soberlink Within In-Home Addiction Treatment Program

Alcohol Use Disorder

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of use of Soberlink on treatment experience for individuals with alcohol use disorder while enrolled in an In-Home Addiction Treatment program. Treatment engagement, feelings related to autonomy and empowerment, and overall quality of life will be evaluated. Although not the primary focus, recidivism and relapse will be measured.

Substance Dependence Satisfaction With Care and Quality Of Life

Opiate DependenceAlcoholism1 more

The SUBUSQOL cohort aimed to improve knowledge of the quality of ambulatory care, in particular the prognostic role of the early satisfaction with care on the change from baseline quality of self-reported health status in outpatients with alcohol or opioid dependence. It is a multicenter prospective cohort. Satisfaction was assessed using a multidimensional self-administered and validated questionnaire during the early care process. In addition to measuring satisfaction and obtaining sociodemographic and clinical data, this study collected data on the self-reported health status at inclusion and 3, 6 and 12 months after inclusion.
