Prevalence of Alcohol Use Disorder and Alcohol-related Liver Disease in Women Undergoing Cervical Cancer Screening: A Missed Opportunity to Screen?

Listen to this summary

This study investigates the prevalence of alcohol use disorder (AUD) and alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) among women undergoing cervical cancer screening, aiming to determine if these visits serve as missed opportunities for identifying AUD. The findings reveal that approximately 1 in 50 women screened had AUD, with a significant portion of those hospitalized having previously attended cervical cancer screenings where AUD was undiagnosed. The authors suggest that implementing standardized screening for AUD during these visits could help mitigate the risks associated with harmful alcohol use.
