Summary
People with alcohol-associated hepatitis are more likely to die from the disease if they use cannabis. A large multinational study just published in Alcohol: Clinical and Experimental Research is the first to identify active substance use, particularly cannabis use, by patients as an independent predictor of death in patients with alcohol-associated hepatitis. The study recommends integrating assessment and treatment of substance use into the clinical care of these patients to improve their prognoses.
