Emergency admission, previous delirium tremens and increased liver stiffness as risk factors for severe alcohol withdrawal – A prospective study
Patients with ILS have an increased risk of developing SAWS, as well as patients with emergency admission and previous DT among other markers. Treatment in an appropriately equipped facility is recommended for patients with this risk profile which can be measured easily by a general practitioner or in an emergency department.
