Mortality risk among individuals treated for alcohol use disorders: results of a longitudinal study from 1978 to 2016 in Northern Italy.

CONCLUSIONS: The mortality risk in treated AUD is confirmed to be higher when compared with the general population, although it is decreasing. In addition, there is enough epidemiological data to assert that, independent of age and gender, the major causes of death in AUD patients are cancers, gastrointestinal disease, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and injuries.
