Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The aim of this study is to compare the predictive validity and reliability of PEth testing at detecting alcohol use in post liver transplant patients. A prospective cohort study will be used to test the primary hypothesis. Subjects enrolled in the study will be followed for 12 months with biomarker levels drawn at baseline, six and 12 months. The baseline interview will inquire about the previous 30 day alcohol and tobacco use; lifetime and 12 month Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-IV criteria for alcohol abuse and/or dependence; prior alcohol treatment; history of abstinence prior to transplant; co-morbid medical issues; and depression. The six and 12 months interview will focus on previous 30 day alcohol use. The baseline, six and 12 months interviews will be conducted face-to-face at each site. While many patients who receive a transplant do not live near the academic medical center that performed the surgery patient, they normally have a transplant clinic visit 1-2 times per year. Medical records and transplant databases will be assessed to assess the other variables of interest.
