Acute Alcohol-Associated Hepatitis in the COVID-19 Pandemic - a Structured Review.

The pandemic resulted in an increase in healthcare utilization related to alcohol consumption. Admissions related to AH increased by 50% (range: 11-100%) during this time, which was disproportionally high in women, younger adults, African Americans, Hispanics, and patients living in rural areas. During this period, the number of new waiting list registrations and candidates with AH receiving liver transplantation (LT) simultaneously increased, which highlights the need for an approach to providing improvised healthcare services at the regional and individual levels.
