Alcoholic Cirrhosis in the Hispanic Population of the United States: A Retrospective Analysis
Hispanic patients with alcoholic cirrhosis (ALC) experience a higher burden of cirrhosis-related complications and increased healthcare utilization compared to other ethnic groups yet exhibit lower observed inpatient mortality. These disparities highlight the need for earlier detection, culturally tailored public health interventions, and improved access to preventive and specialty liver care to improve outcomes in this vulnerable population.
