Alcohol consumption reported on routine healthcare screenings is associated with all‐cause mortality in primary care patients: A retrospective cohort study
Alcohol use reported on brief screens during routine primary care had an approximately convex association (J- or U-shaped depending on sub-population) with all-cause mortality as observed in prior epidemiological studies. Findings support the value of routine alcohol screening as a tool for identifying patients at risk for major adverse health outcomes like death.
