Association Between Alcohol Use Disorder and Hospital Readmission Rates and Outcomes in Cancer Survivors: A Population Cohort Study

CONCLUSIONS: This population-based cohort study of cancer survivors in the United States found that AUD is associated with higher 90- and 180-day readmission rates and higher related health care costs after 90 days of follow-up. Hospitalized cancer survivors with AUD may benefit from addiction treatment and discharge planning that addresses their co-occurring AUD.PMID:38394782 | DOI:10.6004/jnccn.2023.7076
