Alcohol Treatment Outcomes Following Early vs. Standard Liver Transplant for SAH (NCT03845205)

Alcohol Treatment Outcomes Following Early vs. Standard Liver Transplant for Severe Alcoholic Hepatitis (SAH)

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ๐Ÿง  Behavioral & Psychological Program Sponsor: Johns Hopkins University

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

Given the severe consequences of alcohol relapse following liver transplantation for alcoholic hepatitis (AH-LT), it is critical to accurately identify alcohol use and implement alcohol interventions early in the post-transplant period to optimize patient outcomes. The proposed randomized clinical trial will examine the implementation and effects of integrated, person- and computer-delivered alcohol treatment compared to standard care on alcohol use (assessed by self-report and biomarker), mood, quality of life and survival following AH-LT. Predictors of 12-month post-transplant alcohol outcomes will be explored to allow future improved tailoring and targeting of these treatments.
